Todd,
It didn't help. Here is the message: ---------------- $ cd /usr/local/mysql $ ./bin/mysqld_safe The file /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld doesn't exist or is not executable Please do a cd to the mysql installation directory and restart this script from there as follows: ./bin/mysqld_safe. $ --------------------------- It worked fine until yesterday. SA told me he had rebuilt /user/local directory this morning. All the files are still there after the build.
I'm surprised that you didn't consider this information relevant, and that you only just now tell us this after several messages.
It seems most likely that the reason MySQL no longer starts properly is that your SA broke something. In particular, it's likely that the server was located at /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld and that it has been deleted.
Actually I have two versions of mysql. I would like to start mysqld using different version of mysql that I installed in a different location. I wonder where the path '/usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld' stored in the system. Can we change this path somewhere in the parameter file?
That's the path where mysqld_safe is expecting to find the server. If it's stored somewhere else, say /usr/sbin/mysqld, you can specify the --ledir argument to mysqld_safe to indicate the directory where the server is. For example, you can put this in /etc/my.cnf:
[mysqld_safe] ledir==/usr/sbin
Then run mysqld_safe again and it should attempt to execute /usr/sbin/mysqld.
Thanks, song

Do what it says:
cd /usr/local/mysql ./bin/mysqld_safe
and see if that's any better.
