MySQL may not start at system boot in LM9

[rsutherland]

This is a little out of whack in some installs of LM9, don't know why but it is repeatable on same hardware. The service does not get turned on, as it should. i.e.

[root@<server> /]# chkconfig --list mysql

mysql 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:off 4:on 5:off 6:off

if you see this then the mandrake tools are also not able to fix the problme so use

chkconfig --level 3 mysql on

chkconfig --level 5 mysql on

This may be an example of when GUI tools suck because errors are so difficult to even notice.

Nice tip, thanks!

This may be an example when badly written GUI tools suck. Rightly written GUI tool should notify a user of its actions in proper GUI way, and not in console or not at all, like *drak* do.

I have noticed this problem too but got around it by using Webmin's services menu to set it to "Start at Boot".
