Hi,
You have to know why MySql doesn't start.
When you install mysql, the installer creates a directory "mysql-[version name]" and a symbolic link "mysql" in /usr/local.
There is an error file named "yourservername".err in data directory that explains why mysql failed.
Type perror errornumber to have a description of the error.
Try to check that: - mysql user have access/read/write privileges in /tmp directory. - /usr/local/mysql/data and all files inside it owner/group is mysql/mysql - There are hosts and mysql tables in data directory.

Okay, here's a brief synopsis, with suggestions made and tried:
Cannot get MySQL to launch. A process is never started in the activity monitor. What exactly is the name of the process I should see?
Tried uninstalling MySQL by deleting the MySQL directories in /usr/local/. (after first making sure there is no process running, which near as I can tell, it's not).
Isn't there also a startup item? Where are it's pieces/parts?
Does one de-install the pref pane by simply control-clicking and selecting "Remove MySQL Preference Pane"?
I can't get this thing back to running like when I first installed it. Something is still goofy.
