1) Don't run mysql_install_db or safe_mysqld directly - use "service
mysqld start", it will automatically initialize the database
2) When you run mysql_install_db, you create the files as root -
later, you try to run the database as mysql. This user won't have
access to your files.
To fix it, do "chown -R mysql.mysql /var/lib/mysql". And you should
run mysql with "service mysqld start" in the future - or just enable
it by default, with "chkconfig mysqld on"
