Ah, thanks for mentioning this. I didn't even think of that. Sure
enough, if I disabled selinux, it worked. Now I have to figure out why
it's failing under selinux. In the audit log I see these messages when
I try and start it:

mysql.err was 660 owned by mysql.mysql and the dir it's in was 755,
also owned by mysql.mysql. I tried changing the file to 666 and the
dir to 777, but I got the same errors. I also tried moving the log
file to /tmp, but I still got the same errors. So it's not
permissions. I don't know too much about selinux - I"ll have to
research that more.
Thanks again!
