OK,
I changed the owner:group to mysql:mysql for /var/lib/mysql recursively and
got the same results.
I changed the permissions to 770 recursively and got the same results.
I changed the permissions back to 700.
Also, I downloaded the 3.22 version from the mysql website. It appears to
use
a different naming convention than the folks at Red Hat use. Namely, the
package
lists itself as 'MySQL' not 'mysql'. I couldn't get php-mysql installed
because of
this. I don't know if the libmysql...so.9 is installed or not and php-mysql
cannot
locate the mysql pacakge to resolve the dependencies.
Could someone please tell me what the heck is going on here? Why can people
not
use a uniform naming convention for these things? Are the folks at MySQL
just not
naming them correctly on accident? or are the folks at RH screwing up?
I would like to know if anyone else is having the same problems.
Thanks,
Charlie Crawford

Make sure your datadir has the right permissions, and if that fails, try
telling mysql where the datadir is
mysqld --user=mysql --datadir=/location/of/datadir
If you don't have the right permissions do
chown -R mysql.<user> /datadir
