Starting mysql on boot - how?

English Applications
#1

Every time I restart my OpenSUSE 12.1 system I have to manually start mysql. Is there a way to have it started automatically on boot?

Thanks!

If you have not already do so, do the following task …

open YaST (enter root user password)/** System** / System Services (Runlevel)

Then Set the Expert Mode bullet / Find **mysql **service in the list on the left / select mysql with mouse / pick the Set/Reset button on bottom right and select Enable the service / pick the Start/Stop/Refresh button on bottom left and select **Start now **/ Select OK on the bottom right.

Your mysql service should now start automatically on each system restart.

Thank You,

Same as any other service! :slight_smile:

Traditionally, that would be “chkconfig mysql on”. I don’t remember if this
works with systemd.

It works. mysql is not a native systemd service. You can enable it with:

sudo systemctl enable mysql.service

But it gets redirected to /sbin/chkconfig and in fact executes

/sbin/chkconfig mysql on

Thanks! That did the job. For some reason I thought the starting of subsystems had changed but apparently not.
