mysql crash

hello

I installd mysql good but when i try to start mysqld_safe --user=mysql it gives to lines of text and then only the cursos keeps blinking.
I can typ commands but nothing happens.
I have to restart the server to work forther.

how can i solve this?

Robbert

Use this command to manage the server


Start:

Code:

---

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start

---

Stop

Code:

---

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop

---

Restart

Code:

---

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart

---

Now if you want to login to mysql frontend, type this

Code:

---

mysql -u root -p

---

and then enter the root password which you created while installing mysql

I suggest you not to work much on root, create another user and then use it. In that case the command would become

Code:

---

mysql -u newuser -p

---
