Hi, I don't have an answer for you yet - but I encountered exactly the same situation with one of my systems last weekend. Unfortunately, the error file sheds no light at all on the situation. In my case: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql]# cat JackFish.intechgra.com.err 050304 07:30:36 mysqld started 050304 07:30:37 mysqld ended
I downloaded a full binary distribution and it will fire right up using the files/directories in the tar. That being the case I came to the conclusion that this is a permissions problem of some kind, but didn't take it any further as this is a non-critical issue for me right now. Good luck with it.

Hi, Have a look in the error file which is in mysql/data and called hostname.err to have more information on why it is shutting down. With that info you usually can find more help on the mysql website.
