Re: I installed my sql on linux, how to open it.

Hi,

I have not seen RHEL but if its similar to RH9, here's what you do.

Make sure mysql is running - ntsysv will show.

If it is not running, start it with:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start

mysql by default does not have a root password so you need to give one:

mysqladmin -u root password 'rootpassword'

replace "rootpassword" above with your password.

Then,

mysql -p

this will ask for the password and give you the mysql prompt.  You can
use webmin or phpmyadmin which give a web interface for database admin
