Hi
Try to see in the log files
cat /var/log/mysqld
or start the mysql server and then type
tail /var/log/messages
On Fedora, once you have properly installed mysql there is no need to reboot your system to test it. Just type /sbin/service mysql start other options you can use there: stop restart
I have a MySql server on one of my machines that is running FC3 and I don't even have mysql_safe here. (Version 3.23.58)

Hi All,
that's just the problem. It won't start that way. I had already checked the logs, but, it only seems to log things after starting, bringing me back to zero position, a server that won't start this way. Cheers.
(It was safe_mysqld in mysql 3.)
Not sure what you mean there..
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# /sbin/service mysql start Can't execute ./bin/mysqld_safe [FAILED]
Your error message is right there -- "Can't execute ./bin/mysqld_safe". If you look in mysql.server, you'll see
cd $basedir
case "$mode" in 'start') # Start daemon
if test -x $bindir/mysqld_safe then # ... code to start the server ... else log_failure_msg "Can't execute $bindir/mysqld_safe" fi
Clearly, ./bin/mysqld_safe is failing the -x test. As you previously reported that ./mysqld_safe works if you are in mysql's bin directory, we know that mysqld_safe is executable. Hence, when mysql.server tries to run ./bin/mysqld_safe, it must not be in the right directory. That is, it has the wrong value for $basedir. Perhaps you installed mysql somewhere other than the standard location?
Nope, it is located here, /usr/local/mysql.
You could edit mysql.server to add an "echo $basedir" right before the cd, then run it by hand to you can see where the script thinks it should go. The fix will probably involve setting the basedir in /etc/my.cnf to the correct value.
Yes, I went and looked at the script, to see if something was wrong. I couldn't see anything out of order, although, I'm a novice at scripts(programming).
If that's not enough to get you going in the right direction, write back and let us know.
Hopefully it'll get me going. Cheers.
