First mysql_install_db reported that resolveip can't resolve my servers host name (of cowa) bla bla bla but this means I only have to use ip addresses in my grant stuff. Fine but the problem is that mysql_safe --user=mysql starts then stops... that's about it. No fanfare... not entries in the cowa.log file (except of course the start and stop lines) I ran resolveip cowa and it core dumps. I checked /var/lib/mysql and wow the mysql and test dirs are empty. Ok seeing the documentation says safe_mysqld rather than the actual mysqld_safe maybe, I just need to be direct to the correct process. Please help! ----------------->>>> I dropped back to the 3.23.43 version by uninstalling 4.0 alpha and then installing 3.23.43 server, client, shared. After the rpm process was done... The server was up and working. Guess I'll wait for later release of 4.x!
