Hey there. I got it working quickly but there were a few issues I wanted to mention about using a binary distribution. First off: The file /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld doesn't exist or is not executable The binary distribution puts mysqld into bin/ not libexec/, so you'd think mysql.server from the binary dist would know that. :) Next, if you don't set basedir in mysql.server manually, this code: if test -z "$basedir" then basedir=/usr/local/mysql bindir=./bin else bindir="$basedir/bin" fi will be unable to find my_print_defaults. I'd like to suggest the "bindir=./bin" be changed to "bindir=/usr/local/mysql/bin", since if you are changing the basedir to /usr/local/mysql, then $basedir/bin is where it should be, more likely than a bin directory local to where the script is (/etc/init.d/ in this case). Finally, pid_file=$datadir/`@HOSTNAME@`.pid doesn't work, since I assume that is set during install of the source version. I replaced @HOSTNAME@ with /bin/hostname. I don't know if /bin/hostname is reliable enough to use as a default, but someplace in the binary dist install docs it could mention setting that in mysql.server as well as setting the basedir.
