Prob MySQL, PHP, Apache

and

i am a newbabe in linux i have got Red Hat 8, and try to run Apache with

MySQL and php.
i have installed Apache-2.0.32, MySQL-3.23.49 even when all the instalations

seems to be all right ( they are under usr/local/) when i test the rpm they

seem no to be there
🙁

[root@localhost]# rpm -qa |grep sql
postgresql-libs-7.2.2-1

[root@localhost]# rpm -q php
php-4.2.2-8.0.5

[root@localhost]#rpm -q httpd
httpd-2.0.40-8

seems that mysql has not been intalled, but the folder has been created and I

can use it i mean create DB , tables etc...
./configure
make
make install

when i try to reopen the file mysqlXXXXXXXXi386.rpm from the cd a message

is display saying that this package has been already installed.

Any sugestion would be great

If you didn't install mysql from an rpm then you won't see that it's installed with rpm -q

and

i did not, i use Gnome to upzip (by double clicking in the icon) and after just "./configure" "make" "make install".
shoould i do it with the rpm command?
thanks

Perhaps you need to start the service?

bash% service mysqld start
