Hi,

Thanks for your response.  I tried your suggestion,
unfortunately I can't bring up mysqld manually either.
 I get the following message:

[snip]
mysqld: unrecognized service
[/snip]
 
I also tried:
/etc/init.d/mysql.server start

Then I get the error message:

[snip]
/etc/init.d/mysql.server: line 121: my_print_defaults:
command not found
Can’t execute /usr/bin/mysqld_safe from dir /
[/snip]
