I executed the command: fuser -n tcp 3306
and it returned: 3306/tcp: 187 I then ran ps -ef to find what program was using this port and I found it was: root 187 1 0 Nov13 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/inetd Is it ok to kill this process ? If not, is there a way to specify mysqld to use another port ?

'fuser -n tcp 3306' should give you the process id of the process holding up the port. --Jo -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
