Update: I did some more digging, and found: ./bin/mysql_install_db
The documentation indicated that it was safe to run if the mysql database was missing (as would be the case with a new installation). So I ran it, and it created the mysql database. So now the error I get is: 020905 21:05:04 mysqld started 020905 21:05:04 /usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13) 020905 21:05:04 /usr/sbin/mysqld: Normal shutdown 020905 21:05:04 mysqld ended Closer. But still not running. I still don't understand why it stopped in the first place. It was running fine. Then, right between queries, it just died. BTW: It's running on Mandrake 8.2 STill hoping for an answer. :) Ok, I know, it's the middle of the night... Thanks.
