RE: cannot get mysqld to start
Dana, Thanks for looking into this further. I did all that, and ran the command mysql_install_db instead of mysql_install_db --user=mysql as they said in the install guide! I have no clue of the difference between the two and reason why it should work on one and not on another. Would appreciate if you could shed some light on this.

Re: cannot get mysqld to start
Quoteth the install guide: shell cd mysql_installation_directory shell ./bin/mysql_install_db shell ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql This is always the way to start a fresh mysql install. Note that safe_mysqld gets the --user arg ( and is run in the background with ). Also remember to set your root password! Check the manual for this as well. dpk - Original Message - From: Sheena Sidhu [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Dana Powers [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Sheena Sidhu [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Mysql (E-mail) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 11:41 AM Subject: RE: cannot get mysqld to start Dana, Thanks for looking into this further.

RE: cannot get mysqld to start
HMM. Now I dont know why I always failed to get mysql up with the 'right' command... I am looking into setting my root password right now But please tell me if I am doing something wrong by running just safe_mysqld instead of with the parameters...
