mysql --version
mysql  Ver 11.15 Distrib 3.23.39, for pc-linux-gnu (i586)

mysql wont start.... and mysql error log says....

    /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: unrecognized option
`--defaults-extra-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/my.cnf'

I tracked that down to the "/usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld" script, and
altered it to nothing, as the "my.cnf" does NOT exist anywhere on the raq.
So I tried starting mysql again.... /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start
and now i get a new error:

    010714 14:22:36  mysqld started
    010714 14:22:36  /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: Can't find file:
'host.ISM' (errno: 2)
    010714 14:22:36  /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: Normal shutdown
    010714 14:22:36  mysqld ended

Yet this nice 'host.ISM' does exist ... hummm...

Anyway im completly lost with mysql and this is a production server that
uses mysql heavily, can anyone help ?  <beg beg>

Im quite happy to re-install mysql if its the easiest way, except the data
is "TRULY IMPORTANT" and can NOT be lost at any cost !  (Ow and I have no
idea how to set it all up again (tables), and/or backup the db's correctly)

thanks guys
