I installed the binary RPM's from the RH cd, MySQL 3.23.49. I run mysql_install_db, outputs some text and appears to execute correctly. The I run safe_mysqld &, and I get: [root@thor rfox]# /usr/bin/safe_mysqld & [1] 2212 [root@thor rfox]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 020717 15:21:28 mysqld ended That's it! I tried both the rpm and compiling it myself from source with BOTH gcc 2.96 and gcc 3.0.4. Exact same behavior I just need a little hint, please! How do I troubleshoot this?
