Be sure you run mysql_install_db first.
On RedHat, it's probably easier to use the init script (/etc/init.d/mysql start [it might be /etc/init.d/mysqld start])). If it didn't come with the distro, try safe_mysqld -umysql &

Hi UUG,
I'm trying to get mysql 3 running. The safe_mysqld command produces the following output:
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /root/mysql/data 031113 11:24:08 mysqld ended
This mysql probably came with the redhat 8 or 9 distribution. I haven't gotten around to using it until now. Any suggestions for how to get the server running?
Thanks,
Ginger
