To start with, check that the .pid file doesn't exist if the server is stopped, the start script should check if the server is running even if it's present, but I saw some similar problems on debian a debian machine not too long ago. Check the permissions on the start script, and try running it manually with "/etc/init.d/mysql start" or "invoke-rc.d mysql start" Try to take a look in syslog, it'll tell you what's been happening - if anything, give "cat /var/log/syslog | grep mysq" a try ... -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
