What does the error log say at this point? It probably has a lot more detail on exactly what caused it to end. This log is probably in /var/lib/mysql/hostname.err (this is the default behavior). Possible problems are there is no mysql user, or the data directory or the mysql table isn't owned by the mysql user. This will be spelled out clearly in the error log. james montebello --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
