This should not happen, correct? look in the err-file. It's named laptop.err and lies in the data directory. /usr/local/mysql/data Did you enable innodb in /etc/my.cnf ? If yes, did you create it's data-folder ? Check if the user mysql can read/write there. * IMPORTANT * Don't use a file-manager like mc on the shell where you start mysql. It will look exactly like that if you run ./bin/mysqld_safe & from within mc though ./bin/mysqld_safe will work nut block the shell. Plain bash is fine. Then I go to connect to the server (locally) by entering in a mysqladmin command to check the version and the output is below: ... mysql ended error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)' While we are at it. Some distributions put this socket elsewhere. SuSE has it's mysql package compiled to store data and socket in /var/lib/mysql. All client programs that came with the distribution will expect the stuff there. You have to symlink the socket to /var/lib/mysql to get the libraries working.
