after pouring over the post install instructions in the manual, and after searching for my error, i found this: when mysql rpm's are installed: /var/lib/mysql ... is owned by root and group root after changing the owner and group to mysql in recursive mode it came up. you never know how the simplest things can be overlooked so easily. now it comes up fine even at boot time. one of the posters in this thread mentioned my.cnf and i didn't have one. so i snooped around (did a locate for .cnf) and found 6 different my*.cnf files so I chose one and copied it to /etc so there were 2 problems (the first one kept me from running mysqld) probably would have run without the my.cnf, but probably not. GOOD, now I can begin. thanks to all who helped. jerry > I installed mysql from the 9.0 CD's > everything was ok during install. > > did a service mysql start > and get the following error message: > > 030123 19:18:50 mysqld started > 030123 19:18:51 Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission > denied 030123 19:18:51 Do you already have another mysqld server running > on socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ? > 030123 19:18:51 Aborting > 030123 19:18:51 /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete > 030123 19:18:51 mysqld ended > > I do not have a mysql.sock in /var/lib/mysql > > anyone had this same problem? -- ---------- Why is everything made of Lycra Spandex? ---------- Value Freedom (Linux) -- not Tyranny (Microsoft) Linux Registered User 275424
