mysqld.service and redhat 7 systemctl

[Paul Singleton]

I am trying to get mysql to run as a service via systemctl. I have never had any issues getting it to run under service command but now I cannot get it to run under systemctl. I thought it had to do with using chroot but even that doesn't seem to be the problem.

Here is my mysqld.service file:

[Unit]
Description=MySQL Community Server
After=network.target
After=syslog.target

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Alias=mysql.service

[Service]
# Start main service
ExecStart=/usr/share/mysql/mysql.server start
ExecStop=/usr/share/mysql/mysql.server stop

# Give up if ping don't get an answer
TimeoutSec=600

Restart=always
PrivateTmp=false

If I run the ExecStart command by hand all is good -- just wont start via systemctl

I get the following error:

mysqld.service - MySQL Community Server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mysqld.service; disabled)

Any help would be appreciated.
