Sam: I removed MySQL by removing the directory /etc/local/<mysql-version> & /etc/local/mysql and then re-installing the mysql-4.0.18.tar.gz. I follwed the procedure (as you described) & from mysql documentation & again I can not get mysql auto start.
Do you know which directory/file has mysql error so I can look into it. I am completely burned!! Will start again tomarrow morning if I get few responses.

Usually I do it this way: 8) Change ownership of binaries to root and ownership of the data directory to the user that you will run mysqld as (in our case mysql): chown -R root . chown -R mysql var chgrp -R mysql . ( this is important too) 9) To start MySQL server automatically when you boot your machine, copy the mysql.server script to the `/etc/init.d' directory with the name mysql, and then make it executable cp support-files/mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysql chmod +x /etc/init.d/mysql 10) Activate to run the script at system startup by adding to the chkconfig list chkconfig --add mysql chkconfig --level 345 mysql on For more information read http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Automatic_start.html Good luck...
