Two things. I see the following in one of the mysqld.log files: 021004 14:41:05 mysqld started 021004 14:41:05 /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13) 021004 14:41:05 mysqld ended
We have red hat 2.4.7-10. When I tried to install a later version of mysql, I get a bunch of messages like: ... conflicts with file from package mysql-3.23.41-1 So i'm not sure if that is succeeding.

What version of Linux are you using? If you are using Red Hat, you can simply download and install the latest RPMs. The reason that Mysql is ending is because usually you have to start MySQL as a user with permissions to start it. You can always look in the error log to check to see why it didnt start. It will generally give you information like, it couldnt find the databases, or it didnt have sufficient memory or permissions. Also, I prefer to use the /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start command to get things rolling. Ummm... Also make sure there isnt any information in the /etc/my.cnf or /%path/to/mysql/my.cnf files that would stop it from starting.
