I had sent this earlier, but it got waylaid (twice). Perhaps the mail-
server was temporarily down.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, I got rid of EVERYTHING (except the data, which got backed up
in douplicate), and did a fresh install from a tarball, following the
directions exactly, except the mysql user and group were already
there.
When I got to bin/safe_mysqld --user-mysql & it ran, and the deamon
ended. I checked the error file, and it told me:
010224 11:04:45 mysqld started
010224 11:04:45 Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address
already
in use 010224 11:04:45 Do you already have another mysqld server
running on port: 3306 ? 010224 11:04:45 Aborting
010224 11:04:45 mysqld ended
So, I did a ps aux | grep mysql > path-to-file, and got:
1789 0.0 0.8 11528 1368 ? S 20:30 0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld
--ba mysql
1791 0.0 0.8 11528 1368 ? S 20:30 0:00
/usr/sbin/mysqld --ba mysql
1792 0.0 0.8 11528 1368 ? S 20:30
0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --ba root
20027 0.0 0.3 1240 492 ? S 19:49 0:00 grep mysql
Whoa! I have a daemon already running at /usr/sbin/mysqld?
Is there anything else I need to know about before I start over?
Do I need to start over?
