Hello.
Probably mysqld_safe uses wrong values for directories. Possible solution is to store the correct paths in configuration file, and if it is situated not in standard location, launch mysqld_safe with --defaults-file=path_to_config_file. Or use command line options for mysqld_safe. Check the error log, it should be in /var/lib/mysql. See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/program-options.html >Dear there, > >After install mysql 4.1.12 by using rpm, I have some problems to restart >server after >shutting down it. When I use "mysqld_safe" try to restart, it give me >error as follws: > >Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql >STOPPING server from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid >050525 18:08:04 mysqld ended > >Then, I notice in /var/run directory, there is no directory called >mysqld.
