I installed hiphop php in CentOS 5.4 via yum with the repositories provided in the guide of the Git repository. Yum installed all the needed packages, including "mysql51".

The problem is, i can't turn on the database using:

"service mysqld start" or "/etc/init.d/mysqld start"

Even when I list all the services available "service --status-all" mysql doesn't appear. So, how I will turn on the database and then connect to store my data?

    What does this have to do with HipHop? You've broken your MySQL database. Check the MySQL error logs in /var/log. – ceejayoz Jan 03 '12 at 17:38

    FYI, yum only installed the client instead of the server because that would count as "minimum requirement" – Tim Jan 03 '12 at 18:30

    @Tim Good call. Someone running HipHop in production should have a separate server hosting the DB, so it makes sense that it'd leave that out. – ceejayoz Jan 03 '12 at 18:35
  • Actually is a development server, so it should be ok to have a MySQL server installed there. – Mr_LinDowsMac Jan 03 '12 at 19:24

    Yes, but you have to install that MySQL server. HipHop won't, because it (reasonably) assumes said server will be somewhere else. – ceejayoz Jan 03 '12 at 19:46

Please note that on CentOS 'mysql51" package is the client, "mysql51-server" is the server package. This is the one you want: 

yum install mysql51-server
