How can I start mysql by command service mysql start

I can start mysql by following command

/etc/init.d/mysql.server start

But I want to start it by command "service mysql start"

Server is debian 10.

Mariadb, which was originally installed, was uninstalled and mysql 5.5 was reinstalled.

Using sysvinit, the service name should be the name of the file inside /etc/init.d. In your case, the file name is mysql.server, so "sudo service mysql.server start{stop, status, restart}" should be the command used. If it isn't referenced anywhere else, you could even rename the file from "mysql.server" to "mysql" and just run "sudo service mysql start".

The proper way for debian10 is now:

systemctl start mysql.service
