Egor: Yesterday, I wrote and described that my fix for a single cpu, non-RAID environment was installing a new version. What I didn't say at the time is that the mysql.sock file was present exactly where it was supposed to be and at exactly the location the error message said it couldn't find it: var/lib/mysql/mysql.socket. Go figure.
There is obviously something else going on, but I am ill-equipped to say what it is. The point I am trying to make, however, is that the procedures in the manual and all the stock answers are failing to provide a correction in many cases. I'm happy to have 3.23.49a functioning and now want to get to work with it. However, if there are data to be collected that would be helpful, I suppose I can revert to the RPM that came with RH7.1 and see if I can re-create the failure.
