as opposed to using safe_mysqld
try starting mysql using
/etc/init.d/rc.d/mysql start
and stopping using
/etc/init.d/rc.d/mysql stop
I had the same problem on a cobalt raq
running a variant of red hat and that
solved it.

Subject: mysql error
Hi,
I just installed a new version of mysql (not the latest) 3.23.36 which
came with rh 7.1 cd. I know that it is buggy but I have the following
problems that have been discussed in the list. I search the archives but
did not see how the problem got solved.
The error:
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)
I did a ps aux | grep mysqld
root 924 0.0 0.0 1856 0 ? SW 09:55 0:00
[safe_mysqld]
mysql 974 0.0 0.0 12252 24 ? S 09:55 0:00 [mysqld]
mysql 986 0.0 0.0 12252 24 ? S 09:55 0:00 [mysqld]
mysql 987 0.0 0.0 12252 24 ? S 09:55 0:00 [mysqld]
When I try to restart or stop using /etc/init.d/mysqld stop
Stopping MySQL: [FAILED]
The log shows :
010717 12:34:42 mysqld started
010717 12:34:43 Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already

010717 12:55:26 mysqld started
/usr/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections
I tried to change the /etc/my.cnf socket to /tmp/mysql.sock but I still
get the error
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)
How do I solve this as I am in the middle of a web database project
TIA
Adrian
