Topic: Mysql not starting at boot

[Rick Sulman]

Mysql does not start automaticly at boot up. There are some other packages (portsentry, SETI client) wich I installed wich do not start up at boot also.

How can I correct this?

Anybody?

Do ls /etc/rc.d/rc7.d; this will list all the services which are supposed to start at boot time.  Third-party packages don't generally create links at runlevel 7, as most Linux systems operate at runlevel 3 or 5 most of the time.  As to MySQL, it will only start if you've enabled webmail in the e-smith manager.
