Hi!

Socket file specified is : /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
....which on my system has a filesize of zero.  I'm running a Red Hat
7.0, Kernel 2.2.16-22smp
which I installed with MySQL (ie, MySQL wasn't installed separately from
source files.)

I've got three copies of mysqld running when I do a ps (so, no problems
with linuxthreads there.)

In the /var/lib/mysql directory, there's an error file that said it
could not create/write the
mysql.pid file into /var/run.

Since the /var/run directory is owned by root and mysql did not have
write permissions, I
gave write permissions to the others group.  Still no luck.

Is there some other configuration I need to do to get it to work ?
Don't see why something
installed out of the box should be having such problems.

Thanks for any help.

P.S.  Searched through the lists archives, but only got back garbage
from the mailing list on
this problem.
