Answer 1

Run the following command to see your mysql current status:

/sbin/chkconfig mysqld --list

it will return a line such as below:

 mysqld             0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off

to make mysql start every time the system boots, type the following:

 sudo /sbin/chkconfig mysqld on

Result now from '--list' is:

mysqld          0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
