I installed mysql-community-server and mysql-community-server-client on my new 12.2 installation. It appears to be missing the “mysql.service” file that belongs in /lib/systemd/system.
Is there some other package I need to install to get this file? Can anyone provide a working example?
Thanks.
Have you tried to enable and start it from Yast2 > System Services (Runlevel)?
Click the Expert Mode radio button near the top.
Find mysql in the list of Services and highlight it.
Click Enable the Service found in the Set/Reset button. This will make it so it starts at boot time.
Click Start Now… under Start/Stop/Refresh. This starts the service immediately.
That might be what’s needed to create the service file.
Thanks! That worked. I guess I was making this more difficult than it really needed to be.
