How to re-install MySQL ?

[XoK]

Hello,

How can I re-install MySQL in a dedicated server with CentOS?

I want to know what are the procedures, because MySQL is not starting when I reboot the machine.

At this moment I have to start MySQL manually.

you do not need to reinstall mysql unless it is not working at all.. all you must do in order to start mysql automatically upon system startup with CentOS is:

1. SSH into your server.
2. login with root or su in order to obtain root privs.
3. stop the mysql service:

/etc/init.d/mysqld stop

4. execute the following command:

chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on
/etc/init.d/mysqld start

5. try restarting the server to confirm that mysql is starting upon system startup.

hope that helps,
