[sachi83]

hi friends,

and mysql service is running but the problem is that mysqls service is not runing.
and if I enter cmd like service mysqld start
it shows unrecognised service

Just a quick note, sometimes the service command does not work properly or is not set up. A better way to start it is
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
If that doesn't help, a little more info might be helpful...
What version of centos and mysql?
How was mysql installed (yum, rpm, source)?
