Connie,

The port you have specified (1020) requires root permissions as does any port 1024 and below. The normal port is 3306. I'm suspecting that your mysql server installation is configured to run as mysql or some user other than root. Change the port to something above 1024 and you should be OK.

MySQL-server-standard-5.0.15-0.rhel4
MySQL-shared-standard-5.0.15-0.rhel4
MySQL-devel-standard-5.0.15-0.rhel4

The node is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql]# uname -a
Linux snv1.xxx 2.6.13Fast100 #5 SMP Thu Oct 20 13:42:04 PDT 2005 x86_64 x86_64 
x86_64 GNU/Linux

And is running red hat version
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql]# more /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant Update 2)

Have I installed the correct rpm?

And can you tell me what priv I do not have as root that gives the following 
message when I try to start mysqld_safe?
051031 16:06:20  mysqld started
051031 16:06:20  InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 43655

051031 16:06:22  mysqld ended

I am not running another mysql server on this machine, and nothing is bound to 
port 1020.

Thanks, Connie
