no, no mysqld process is/was running. This has been quite a pain. I've been googling this for 2 days, installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, checked permissions and tried every suggestion I could find... I'm so frustrated I'm about to reinstall the system from scratch, I'll likely fight with this for another day before that becomes the easier option - I just have a lot on that server and it would take awhile to rebuild. this is the version: mysql Ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.58, for redhat-linux-gnu (i386) tia -Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael A.

Packagers of daemons should stop the service of the old version before the new package is installed - even though rpm has the facilities for that, often they don't. _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
