Still can't get it working.

bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql Okej. That doesn't work either. So I guess I give up yet again, remove everything and start all over for the seventh time. *sighing desperatly* Tatti - Before posting,

A complete newbie here (long post)

ons and they worked as far as what I pasted above. My plan is to phpnuke the entire site and therefore I need the MySQL. To add to it all I have absolutely no knowledge of either Linux or Unix. But I intend to learn. Thanks in advance for any help I get. Cheers Tatti --
