I'm not sure why you ran mysql_install_db manually. When you first do a
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start it initialises the database and starts
everything fine. It's possible by doing it manually you've done it as
the wrong user or something - it probably should be done as the mysql
user. You could try a /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld restart (as root) and see
if that sorts things out. Failing that you'll have to clean things up
and reinitialise - I'll defer to the docs or other people here for how
best to do that.
