Is the mysql server running?
I only ask because I have the same "problem" on an FC1
installation, "Starting MySQL......[FAILED]", but the server is up
and running fine.
I'm thinking it has something to do with something the startup
script is looking for to confirm the server started that's not there.
As it turns out there was still an old instance running (and I'm
surprised the rpm didn't stop the process), however, it seemed to
have become disconnected from its PID file, so none of the mysql
utilities seem to be able to find it. I killed the processes, which
made no difference, then rebooted, but still the server refuses to
start. It seems odd that nothing is being logged - I've been keeping
an eye on the contents of /var/log and /var/lib/mysql, but nothing
related to mysql startup is appearing.
