Supposed that the problem is that localstatedir is not having /usr/local/var
having a file mysql.sock. may be which is not started. give ps -e and
check for the process. if it is existing then killall mysqld. Then give
the command at /usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld --log --log-update & to send it to
background. Send mail if you have any further problem.
