Verify The Server Is Up

• Use mysqladmin to verify that the server is running.
  • Two simple tests to check whether the server is up and responding to connections are:
    • bin/mysqladmin version
    • bin/mysqladmin variables

• To see what else can be done with mysqladmin, invoke it with the --help option.

• Also, use mysqlshow to verify that the server is running.
  • bin/mysqlshow
  • bin/mysqlshow mysql

What if I have problems running mysql_install_db?
