and when i try installing the first packagezypper install MySQL-client-community
I get a messege saying that it is already installed.Loading repository data…
Reading installed packages…
'MySQL-client-community' is already installed.
Resolving package dependencies…
Nothing to do.
also worth pointing out that i cannot start/stop mysqlsudo service mysql [start|stop|restart|status]
outputservice: no such service mysql
have I got the wrong package? should I be using another repository, i got the ones from the openSUSE websitebecause unlike in the alfresco guide for linux users, so far i have not been asked to configure mysqlwhat really bugs me is that i've had alfresco running on a ubuntu server no problem, but when it comes to SUSE, YaST is there just to tell me what i cannot do.
any help will be apreciated…
