Yesterday, after installing the mysql rpm and running
mysql_install_db I ran safe_mysqld, I was able to get the mysql
server running using safe_mysqld -h /var/lib/mysql/mysql/host.frm.

Today, I tried to fix the path problem by mv * /var/lib/mysql/mysql
/var/lib/mysql. This didn't help. So I did rm -r /var/lib/mysql and
reran mysql_install_db --datadir=/var/lib. Now when I run safe_mysqld
I get:

starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
020203 16:19:56 mysqld ended

The mysqld.log file shows:

020203 16:19:56 mysqld started
020203 16:19:56 Can't start server: Bind on unix socket: Permission denied
020203 16:19:56 Do you already have another mysqld server running on
socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock?
020203 16:19:56 Aborting

020203 16:19:56 mysqld ended

I don't understand what this means and how do I correct it.

Thanks
Joe
