I have installed mysql (maria db) on redhat.
My question is - how do I start and stop the server?
STEPS
I ran the command
$sudo yum install mysql
It gave long messages in the console while installing and and at the end said
Installed:

But now when I run the command
$ sudo service mysql start
it gives messages
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start mysql.service Failed to issue method call: Unit mysql.service failed to load: No such file or directory.
I am using Red hat version - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.1 (Maipo)
I believe you've installed only the client. For the server do
yum install mariadb-server
. The package will install appropriate service file for you.The name of the service though is
mariadb
. Well that is the case on CentOS 7 at least... So, after you install mariadb-server package dosystemctl enable mariadb
andsystemctl start mariadb
.
