Hi Connie,


060103 15:54:02 [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Permission denied


060103 15:54:02 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 1000 ?


You can't bind to a port less than 1024 unless you're running as
root. I suspect that's the problem here.  Try another port, higher
than 1024.

I'm kind of curious why you aren't running it on the standard 3306?

Regards,

Jeremy

This might work...

1. Follow the steps in
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/changing-mysql-user.html
2. Run the mysql init script as root.

However, if MySQL drops privileges before binding to its sockets, then it won't work. I'm afraid I don't know that much about MySQL's internals.
