[rhn-users] Installing MySQL 4.1.20 on RHEL4, can't get it running

[Clinton Fernandes]

That seems a little hard to debug.

What does the output of /var/log/mysqld_error.log say (That's what my
error log is; yours may be in a different path with a different
filename).

Also, check your /etc/my.cnf file. It may provide some clues in
conjunction with the log file.

Try executing:

$ service mysqld start

that may (may) do some other processes in addition to calling mysqld_safe.

Good luck!
