You probably didn't start it the correct way, by using the included
initscript ("/etc/init.d/mysqld", also usable by "service mysqld
<argument>" (start, stop etc)). This is also what would have been used
had you used tksysv, ntsysv or chkconfig to turn the service on.
If you use the "mysql_install_db" as root and then use "safe_mysqld",
you'll try to run the database as user mysql - but root will own the
files. "chown -R mysql.mysql /var/lib/mysql" should fix the problem.
