Mysql Server Problem, with a fresh install

[CIKALA Frédéric ROSI/SIPROD]

Ok thanks for this quick answer =)
But,
when i type what you told, i got the following error

[root at portailDEM ~]# yum install mysql-server

You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys. This is a good thing.
However, you do not have any GPG public keys installed. You need to download
the keys for packages you wish to install and install them.
You can do that by running the command:
    rpm --import public.gpg.key
For more information contact your distribution or package provider.
[root at portailDEM ~]#  chkconfig mysqld on
error reading information on service mysqld: No such file or directory
[root at portailDEM ~]#

Quite Strange isn't it ?

Correct. Install the server as follows:

# yum install mysql-server

Have it start at every boot:

# chkconfig mysqld on

Start it now:

# service mysqld start
