try running safe_mysqld without any options I wouldn't know why you would need to specify a user name to start the daemon

Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 020305 17:46:10 mysqld ended I presume that means that mysqld "ended" Basically the mysql started then abruptly stopped. Again the error in the ONLY error log "linux.err" said the exact same text that was displayed on my screen, making that no help. There is no mysql.sock on my system because the server is not running, anyone have any REAL ideas? The documentation is of NO help whatsoever and I am getting very frustrated with it. Trying mysqp -u root -p<password> was a desperate attempt to try it another way. As I have done numerous different ways. I don't know how many different ways I can try to get mysqld daemon running.
