I did a yum update last night and now I am having trouble starting mysql. [root@bubba mysql]# cat /var/log/mysqld.log 050122 10:08:08 mysqld started 050122 10:08:08 Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied 050122 10:08:08 Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ? 050122 10:08:08 Aborting 050122 10:08:08 /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown Complete 050122 10:08:08 mysqld ended any ideas? Of course this makes many things break. Thanks In Advance -Paul
