Before you can create your databases you have to start the MySQL process. To configure MySQL to start at boot time, use the chkconfig command:

[root@bigboy tmp]# chkconfig mysqld on

You can start, stop, and restart MySQL after boot time by using the service commands given below:

[root@bigboy tmp]# service mysqld start
[root@bigboy tmp]# service mysqld stop
[root@bigboy tmp]# service mysqld restart

Remember to restart the mysqld process every time you make a change to the configuration file for the changes to take effect on the running process.

You can test whether the mysqld process is running with

[root@bigboy tmp]# pgrep mysqld

You should get a response of plain old process ID numbers.
