Can not restart server Hi, MySQL Gurus, Version of mysql is Distrib 3.23.54, for redhat-linux-gnu (i386). I started mysql server with 'safe_mysqld --user=root &' . Then I found some variables needs to be optimized. SO I shut it down with 'mysqladmin -p shutdown' using root. But I was connected to the mysql server at the moment as ginger thru another connection. But the server is down all right (at least to me). Then I logged out in my connection as ginger to mysql server. Then I changed the variables in /etc/my.cnf and try to bring up the server using 'safe_mysqld --user=root &'. Here is what I got: /usr>/usr/bin/safe_mysqld --user=root & /usr>Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 040408 08:00:06 mysqld ended [1]+ Done /usr/bin/safe_mysqld --user=root I moved the old mysql under datadir to another place and run 'mysql_install_db'. Then I run 'safe_mysqld --user=root &'. Still the same thing. I even tried to restart the server again but it does not work either. I have also tried to restore the my.cnf file and there is no effect. Please help me. I need it to be fixed as soon as I can.
