sysVinit
Contents
sysVinit is one of the most common service managers. On systems that use sysVinit, the mysql.server script is normally installed to /etc/init.d/mysql.
Interacting with the MariaDB Server Process
The service can be interacted with by using the service command.
Starting the MariaDB Server Process on Boot
On RHEL/CentOS and other similar distributions, the chkconfig command can be used to enable the MariaDB Server process at boot:
chkconfig --add mysql chkconfig --level 345 mysql on
On Debian and Ubuntu and other similar distributions, the update-rc.d command can be used:
update-rc.d mysql defaults
Starting the MariaDB Server Process
service mysql start
Stopping the MariaDB Server Process
service mysql stop
Restarting the MariaDB Server Process
service mysql restart
Checking the Status of the MariaDB Server Process
service mysql status
Manually Installing mysql.server with SysVinit
If you install MariaDB from source or from a binary tarball that does not install mysql.server
automatically, and if you are on a system that uses sysVinit, then you can manually install mysql.server with sysVinit. See mysql.server: Manually Installing with SysVinit for more information.
SysVinit and Galera Cluster
Bootstrapping a New Cluster
When using Galera Cluster with sysVinit, the first node in a cluster has to be started with service mysql bootstrap. See Getting Started with MariaDB Galera Cluster: Bootstrapping a New Cluster for more information.
