Hello, I work with Suse 7.1 and mysql 3.23.30 gamma. I have killed the mysql settings and so I remove the mysql-RPMs and install mysql 3.23.41 with yast1. Perhaps a mistake, I didnīt reboot the system after removing the RPMs.
Then I have same Problems, like: I> Funny I still have the same exact problem Egor does. I start mysql with I> safe_mysqld, same only server just ends. I do safe_mysqld & nothing, I use I> mysqld -r root -p <password> I> Nothing I do, that is listed helps. I still have no mysql.sock, and the I> server never starts. I do many thinks nothing help. Then I found on my system /usr/share/doc/packages/mysql/README.SuSE. I read it and I remove the RPMs again. Restart the computer. Copy /var/lib/mysql to /backup/var/lib/mysql (or anything else). Remove all Directories and Files in /var/lib/mysql. Start yast1 and install the six RPMs (look README.SuSE). Restart the computer. And MySQL lives again. If you have a similar System, how I, I hope the same procedure will help you.
