mysqld missing

[jonas90]

I'm running RHEL5, and i'm trying to install Bugzilla. I just updated all of the MySQL to a new version as listed:

[root@odysseus bugzilla]# rpm -qa | grep -i mysql
perl-DBD-MySQL-3.0007-1.fc6
mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.12-2.2
MySQL-devel-5.1.17-0.glibc23
MySQL-client-5.1.17-0.glibc23
libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.8.1a-1.2.2
MySQL-shared-compat-5.1.16-0.glibc23
MySQL-server-5.1.17-0.glibc23
MySQL-python-1.2.1-1

But when I try to start MySQL, mysqld is not even listed in the Services list. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

The service is known as mysql and not mysqld. Its installed by the mysql-server package.

When I try to login to the server I get:

Could not connect to host 'odysseus'.
MySQL Error Nr. 2003
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'odysseus' (111)

Click the 'Ping' button to see if there is a networking problem.

Of course the Ping button shows connectivity so it almost sounds like it's not running. Could it be something else?

Login to odysseus and check whether mysql is running.

I'm doing this local on the machine. The service "mysql" is running. I have tried restarting it as well as stop and start.
