No package webmin available.
Nothing to do
I don't think I've ever had webmin from a distro package, but it installs

I found it, installed it, let it do its updates, but a scan for servers
doesn't find mysql cuz it is not running and now won't run.
I had NDI this was going to such a PIMA, but a friend has mythtv running
at his place and it does everything but fix breakfast.
If anyone has any idea how to reset this SOB to absolutely square one,
never having been run, please advise. Deleting /var/lib/mysql didn't do
it.

you don't delete /var/lib/mysql
you delete /var/lib/mysql/*
mkdir /var/lib/mysql
chown mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql
service mysqld start
I got to here ^^^ and selinux stuck up its hand & waved at me.
SELinux is preventing mysqld (mysqld_t) "create" to mysql.sock (var_lib_t).
And recommended I run restorecon -v 'mysql.sock', but:
[root@coyote rpms]# restorecon -v 'mysql.sock'
restorecon: stat error on mysql.sock: No such file or directory
So I go back to the top of the list above and repeat, apparently forever cuz I
get the same thing when I restart mysqld.
Now, since mysql.sock doesn't exist, because it can't create it, therefore
restorecon can't do anything about it, WTH do I do next?
So I located the old one in the database, touched a new one, then
'chown mysql:mysql mysql.sock;restorecon -v mysql.sock' No errors reported.
But, a 'service mysqld start' eventually fails. And now the selinux count is
plus 2 cuz I tried it twice.
So how do we fix YAMYSQLFSCKUP?
----
ignoring that the person whining is the one who deleted the directory in
the first place, it should have been obvious to you that you needed to
also restore the security contexts on /var/lib/mysql when you recreated
it.
Are you having a good time blaming everything else for your troubles?
There are millions of people running mysql without your issues.
Fair number of us trying to help Gene without being snotty, too...
