Never mind. I figured it out. I had to run the install_db script as
mysql user.

but as soon as I run mysqld without that option, it dies again. I did
try running "mysql_install_db --user=mysql" but when I did "mysqlshow

Any ideas on how to proceed?
Thanks,

Hello.
Check that mysql_install_db filled mysql database in the same directory
as your datadir. See:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/unix-post-installation.html

Thanks for your reply. I confirmed that user and group, mysql, exists
and performed the chown as instructed but same thing. Here is my log
again after I did this:
050810 23:18:09 mysqld started
050810 23:18:09 InnoDB: Database was not shut down normally!
InnoDB: Starting crash recovery.

check if rpm creates mysql user and group.
then mysql_install_db, chown mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql -R
and finally try starting mysqld again

I installed mysql from the following rpm packages:
mysql-4.1.10a-2.RHEL4.1
mysql-server-4.1.10a-2.RHEL4.1
I tried running 'mysqld start' and the server said startup failed. Here
is the mysq.log:
050810 20:26:48 mysqld started
