Just installed mysql on centos 6.2. When I try to start it with service I get:

MySQL Daemon failed to start.
Starting mysqld: [FAILED]
Nothing at all is written to the error log.
But if I start it with mysqld_safe it comes up and works fine.
Anyone know what could be going on here?

If the daemon is attempting to change users during startup, then you
must be root when you start it. Otherwise, become the user `mysql` then
start the daemon (service) under the proper credentials.
