rpmquery <package Name> By this command you can check which package is installed.
For Example: rpmquery mysql
If you're looking for the RPM.
rpm -qa | grep MySQL
Most of it's data is stored in /var/lib/mysql so that's another good place to look.
If it is installed
which mysql
will give you the location of the binary.
You could also do an
updatedb
and a
locate mysql
to find any mysql files.
Usually you can find a program under a subdirectory "../bin". System programs are under /usr/bin or /bin. To check where files of mysql package are placed, on RHEL 6 type like this :
rpm -ql mysql (which is the main part of the package)
and the result is a list of "exe" files such as "mysqladmin" tool. About to know the version of the server, run the command:
mysqladmin -u "valid-user" version
Type mysql --version to see if it is installed.
To find location use find -name mysql.
to ckeck the status use the below command, which worked on debian....
/etc/init.d/mysql status
to start my sql server use the below command
/etc/init.d/mysql start
to stop the server use the below command
/etc/init.d/mysql stop
yum list installed | grep mysql
Then if it's not installed you can do (as root)
yum install mysql -y
