OK, here is the story.....

I have a PII Linux RedHat 7.0 server.  I installed the Mysql package that
comes with it and also the dependent applications as specified.

I try to start the mysqld and it gives me an OK and then I status it and
it says....

mysqld dead but subsys locked

I am asking for two things....

First, after the RPM installation what am I supposed to do?

Second, how do I get it to run and build my first database?

The error message log file is printed out below:

That's about it.  I tried doing the password change when I started but I
could not.

My server is "worker.hagenit.com"

Be forgiving folks, Linux is new to me as is MySQL.

Can you walk me through a MySQL install and initial setup?

Sincerely,

Charles Hagen
