Hello, I'm attempting to start mysql 4.1.10 compiled source code on Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 with apache 2.0.49. ./configure, make and make install went successfully. But when I attempt to start mysql using this command: sudo mysqld_safe --user=mysql
I get the following errors: Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql STOPPING server from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid 050223 11:31:46 mysqld ended The error log states: 050223 11:16:03 mysqld started 050223 11:16:03 InnoDB: Database was not shut down normally!
