How to start mysql from Linux

Question

I downloaded the following RPM files

MySQL-client-5.6.14-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

MySQL-server-5.6.14-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

MySQL-shared-5.6.14-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

And then I have installed it as

rpm -ivh MySQL-client-5.6.14-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

rpm -ivh MySQL-server-5.6.14-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

rpm -ivh MySQL-shared-5.6.14-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

Later I typed the following command I get an error:

service mysql start

mysql: unrecognized service

I need to start MYSQL. How can I do it?

Note: Server is Linux

I get the following error:

file /usr/share/mysql/charsets/swe7.xml from install of MySQL-server-5.6.14-1.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package mysql-libs-5.1.71-1.el6.x86_64

Answer 1

Try to find mysqld by command which mysqld

It should be somewhere in 

/usr/sbin/.

If you have successfully found it, then try to run by executing ex. 

/usr/sbin/mysqld. 

If you have not found the mysqld, then try to install mysql using yum.
