/var/lib/mysql is the standard loation for the data_file_path, the
data directory. change it in my.cnf.
var/log is the default location for log files, also changeable in the
config file.

I am trying to install mysql in a non-standard directory - specifically
/app/mysql
Subsequently, I ran the following configure command:
./configure --prefix=/app/mysql --with-plugins=innobase,myisam
There were no problems with the compile, but mysql failed to start.
Furthermore, the following output was produced in the nohup.out file
-bash-3.2$ cat nohup.out

For some reason, the mysql install is looking to /var even though I
specificied /app/mysql in the compile.
How do I fix this?
Thanks!
