CentOS: Set service to auto start
hi All,
I recently hired a VPS. I have everything setup as i want it. But went the server is rebooted it doesn;t automatically start the FTP and MySQL services. So i have to manually type;
/etc/init.d/vsftpd start;
/etc/init.d/mysqld start;
How do i configure these services to automatically start?

Correction:
cd /etc/rc0.d/;ln -s ../init.d/K99mysqld
should read
cd /etc/rc0.d/;ln -s ../init.d/mysqld K01mysqld
cd /etc/rc0.d/;ln -s ../init.d/K99mysqld
should read
cd /etc/rc0.d/;ln -s ../init.d/mysqld K01mysqld

I had a look at the chkconfig and both services are listed as off. How do i edit the config so they are on?

Many thanks,
I have another CentOS question about switching off cron notifications if you have time.

To stop the cron e-mail notifications just apped 2>&1 to end of the command.

P.S. You can use chkconfig --list to see what services are currently set to run.
To start|stop a service for a run-level issue chkconfig --level <levels> <service_name> on|off
To add a service to chkconfig issue chkconfig --add <service_name>
Hope that helps.

Look at "chkconfig" you can use this to manage service startup.. may require some modification of the init scripts..
Second way..
type "runlevel" to get what run level the server normally boots into, probably 3 or 5, you can also look at /etc/inittab.
Then, depending on the leve, go to the /etc/rc?.d directory.. so for runlevel 5 it would be /etc/rc5.d
in that directory, just link to the init script for the *S*tartup.
ln -s ../init.d/mysqld S99mysql
ln -s ../init.d/vsftpd S99vsftpd
If you would like, you can create corresponding links in runlevels to *stop* the services... For example to kill the service when the machine is shutdown:
cd /etc/rc0.d/;ln -s ../init.d/K99mysqld
run "man init" to get more info on the runlevels at which level is "inited" when.
