Hi All:

I'm trying to get mysql 5 installed on my CentOS 4.6 installation. I've installed mysql using yum:

yum -y install perl-DBD-MySQL mysql-server mysql php-mysql mod_auth_mysql phpmyadmin mysqlclient

Yum says it installed fine:

But there isn't a my.cnf file in /etc/

if you want one, you need to create it. the package installs example file that you can use.

Nor are there any files in:
[root@ftp ~]# ls /var/lib/mysql/
mysql  test
[root@ftp ~]# ls /var/lib/mysql/mysql/


looks ok. at some time, you'll need to do some post-install tasks to secure the server (mainly, set a password for the root user). see mysql site or google...

An rpm query shows everything should be installed:
[root@ftp ~]# rpm -qa mysql
mysql-5.0.54-1.el4.centos
[root@ftp ~]# rpm -qa mysql*
mysqlclient14-4.1.22-1.el4s1.1
mysqlclient10-devel-3.23.58-9.2.c4
mysql-5.0.54-1.el4.centos
mysqlclient10-3.23.58-4.RHEL4.1
mysql-server-5.0.54-1.el4.centos
mysqlclient10-3.23.58-9.2.c4
mysql-libs-5.0.54-1.el4.centos


Trying to start mysql results in:
[root@ftp ~]# service mysqld start
Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon.
Starting MySQL:  [FAILED]

Thoughts?

is selinux enabled on your system? check /var/log/messages.
