I'm fairly new to MySQL, and RDBMS's in general, but not to system administration nor linux. I'm running Gentoo, and I can't seem to get mySQL to work.

To make sure: Gallio root # nmap 10.10.10.10 Starting nmap V. 3.00 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) Interesting ports on Gallio (10.10.10.10): (The 1599 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) Port State Service 22/tcp open ssh 80/tcp open http 139/tcp open netbios-ssn Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 2 seconds Gallio root # Nothin'. Nada. Nil. It's not starting. If I try to stop it... Gallio root # /etc/init.d/mysql stop * Stopping mysqld... [ !! ] My guess, it can't find the pid to stop it with. And the file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid (or something like that) doesn't exist. Running 'safe_mysqld --user=mysql &' does the following: Gallio root # safe_mysqld --user=mysql & [1] 5632 Gallio root # Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 021213 11:47:23 mysqld ended When I escape out of that: [1]+ Done safe_mysqld --user=mysql I'm not sure what has gone wrong, but I'd like to get the mysql up and running. BTW, what would be a worthy book to get on mySQL?
