Is there anything in the error log? You could try starting it from the command line to see what errors you get. The following will work assuming you installed using the rpm's. Otherwise the location of mysqld and the user may differ. #su - mysql #/usr/sbin/mysqld Run this and see what errors are reported. > thanks > > bruce > [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Tom Crimmins Interface Specialist Pottawattamie County, Iowa -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
