I'm a newbie to MySQL. I'm trying to run it on Red Hat 9. After running mysql_install_db, I switch to the directory where mysql.sock is located and enter safe_mysqld &. Here's a copy of the shell output:
# safe_mysqld & [1] 7549 # Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 030626 02:02:59 mysqld ended > The cursor is flashing down on this line, and if I type anything and enter it kicks me back to the prompt. If I do a ps, it doesn't show anything about mysql even running. It appears to run for a split second and then end all by itself. I'm still trying to read all the man page stuff; would appreciate any help.
