Starting MySQL on Fedora

How do I get MySQL service to start? I don't know!

[root@localhost ed]# service myseld start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start  myseld.service
Failed to start myseld.service: Unit myseld.service not found.

I found this web page that has instructions.

Well, first I had to install a package!

 yum install mysql-server

I had a hard time from here, but finally this command worked:

[root@localhost ed]# service mariadb start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start  mariadb.service

The I could do:


[root@localhost ed]# mysqladmin -u root password ****

I can also connect to the server:

[root@localhost ed]# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:

In order to get the database server to start every time, I tried:

 systemctl enable mariadb.service
