I had this problem too: I identified the pid with ps -aux and then kill them manually. (kill -9 pid)
hope it will help you.

How do I check on what is binding port 3306? I don't see mysqld running
and running mysql gets a "Can't connect" failure.

The error log should be located in your data directory if you have not specified another location. The name may be <host>.err.

Where is the error log? I'm searching for localhost.err, but nothing
comes up.

I'm using MySQL on Gentoo Linux and today it stopped starting up. It was
working a few days ago, and I haven't played with anything in the system
- no new installs, config changes, etc. It just decided to go on
vacation.


I run mysqld_safe and it quits right away with no error messages. I've
got a MySQL book and it doesn't help much. I also tried mysqld_safe
--debug, but no trace file is created.

Thanks for any help.
