Sounds like mysql isn't running on your machine.

[Don]

Don't want to sound dumb but what is the command to start Mysql from the command shell on Esmith 5.6

[Dan Brown]

/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start

[Don]

Thank you for the quick response that fix the problem but I don't have an idea why the Mysql service would stop on its on. do you know where i can check to make sure that it is configured to start auto when the server reboots

[Dan Brown]

No, I don't have any idea either.  Take a look in /etc/rc.d/rc7.d and make sure you have S90mysqld there.
