Hi,
Coming from a RH background, starting a RH server is just a matter of /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start

After emerging mysql , I am unable to get the server started. I see a safe_mysqld file and a /var/run/mysqld but have beem unsuccessful so far. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Gentoo's init scripts are placed in /etc/init.d, so to start mysql:
Code:
/etc/init.d/mysql start

You must be root to run that and if you su to root, don't forget to run
Code:
su -

to have sbin added to the path.

If you want mysql to run at startup, you'll need to add it to the default runlevel
Code:
rc-update add mysql default

as root of course.

This is the doc you'll want to read for more info.

I know it seems obvious, but always check the Manual. Specifically, try Section 2.4.
