When trying to start a freshly installed MySQL (first time), and then
trying to run the daemon, I get these messages in the error.log ...
000822 10:31:04 mysqld started
000822 10:31:04 Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied
000822 10:31:04 Do you already have another mysqld server running
on socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ?
000822 10:31:04 Aborting
000822 10:31:05 mysqld ended
I think this is a permission problem with creating the *socket*, but which
files or config files affect sockets ?
# ls -alF
total 6

Thanks... Dan.
