I have a VPS running Fedora 16 (upgraded from 15). Mysql was installed and working until recently.

Now I can't get the mysql service started.

when I try

/etc/init.d/mysqld start

I get the error

/etc/init.d/mysqld: No such file or directory

I have uninstalled and installed mysql several times

yum install mysql mysql-server

but the service still isn't available

MySQL in Fedora no longer has a SysV initscript; you should be using the service command to control it instead:

service mysqld start

doing a service mysqld start I get the following error: Failed to get D-Bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /org/freedesktop/systemd1/private: Connection refused – Pierre Apr 13 '12 at 13:41

You're running it as root, correct? – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Apr 13 '12 at 13:42
