>Description: Just installed the rpm files for Linux x86 downloaded from the web. After installing rpm files, server won't start. The error (from the log) is:
030325 21:23:41 mysqld started 030325 21:23:41 Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied 030325 21:23:41 Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ? 030325 21:23:41 Aborting 030325 21:23:41 /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete 030325 21:23:41 mysqld ended I've checked, and /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock doesn't exist.
