I have a binary distribution of MySQL installed on a Red Hat Linux system. When I try
to run mysqld or safe_mysqld, it gives me a 'cannot connect to server 'localhost'.'
The error file tells me "bind on TCP/IP port 3306, make sure address is not in use."
However, I used 'ps' and no mysqld process is running. I use netstat and it tells me
that the port 3306 status is "LISTEN" and the socket file is also "LISTEN." What do I
do to be able to get safe_mysqld running? Do I need to close the socket and/or the
TCP/IP port?
