869 Cannot initialize InnoDB as 'innodb_data_file_path' is not set.
870 If you do not want to use transactional InnoDB tables, add a line
871 skip-innodb
872 to the [mysqld] section of init parameters in your my.cnf
873 or my.ini. If you want to use InnoDB tables, add to the [mysqld]
874 section, for example,
875 innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend
876 But to get good performance you should adjust for your hardware

882 031219 20:52:52 mysqld ended
I've even tried moving host.frm around.
The manual says that mysql_install_db may not have run or to try
./bin/safe_mysqld &
I've tried all combinations of the above.
ps -ef | grep -i sql shows nothing so the server is NOT running
mysql does not work
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
.......................................... PREVIOUS HISTORY
(1) performed a standard install of Redhat Linux 9 months ago
(I found mysql 3.23.52 installed)
I executed mysql_install_db successfully (manual says it is safe to rerun)
installing all prepared tables
031219 0:44:16 /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown Complete
To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server
to the right place for your system
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! This is done with: /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h landon password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions.
NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run the /usr/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be able to use the new GRANT command!
You can start the MySQL daemon with: cd /usr ; /usr/bin/safe_mysqld &
You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench' directory: cd sql-bench ; run-all-tests
Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!
