Problemer med å starte mysql på Ubuntu

[Karl-Arne Gjersøyen]

root@linux:/home/karl# /etc/init.d/mysql start
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the
service(8)
utility, e.g. service mysql start

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start mysql

Hvordan starter jeg mysql? Jeg har installert LAMP og Apache2 og PHP5
virker som det skal, men jeg klarer ikke å starte MySQL serveren.

Takk for alle råd.
Mvh Karl-Arne
