Check the owner and group for /home/mikem/local/mysql/data. It should be
mysql.
run the following commands
shell> groupadd mysql
shell> useradd -g mysql mysql
shell> chown -R mysql /home/mikem/local/mysql/data
shell> chgrp -R mysql /home/mikem/local/mysql/data
shell> ./bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
Thanks,
Mathan

Subject: starting mysql server
Hello all,
I have installed mysql and in one of the tutorials it has told me to do
the following:
"You can start the MySQL server with the following command:
shell> ./bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &"
However when I did this I got the following:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
linskull:/home/mikem/local/mysql # ./bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /home/mikem/local/mysql/data
040617 10:37:40 mysqld ended
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see the shell just goes idle.
Is this what is supposed to happen or what am I doing wrong?
