[rhn-users] start up issue with mysql daemon

[raj10 sangvikar]

It appears that mysqld is not running. have you installed the server and clients both ? 
two possibilities: 1) either the selinux policy OR permissions issue.

Dear All

While trying to install mysql ( binary distro mysql-5.1.37.tar.gz ) on RHEL 5.2 platform, I am unable to start off the mysql daemon which throws an error message as follows:

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start
Starting MySQL.Manager of pid-file quit without updating fi [FAILED]

# /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S64mysql start
Starting MySQL.Manager of pid-file quit without updating fi[FAILED]

]# mysqladmin version
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!

Help to debug above mentioned errors are highly regarded and appreciated. 

with regards
s.mahalingam
