I'm using mysql-4.0.14-r2. If I type "mysqld" (as normal user), I get the following error: 031102 13:23:19 Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied 031102 13:23:19 Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock ? 031102 13:23:19 Aborting while if i run it as root, sometimes I get the same error, sometimes it just exits quietly (without leaving any process running). The directory /var/run/mysqld is actually empty. If I run /etc/init.d mysql start, it says "OK" but no server is actually running, and if I try to stop the service it gives a "!!" and fails. I've already tried re-merging mysql.
have you done the ebuild config command? look at the instructions I'm busy writing http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/~robbat2/guidexml/mailsolution.html (see the MySQL section).
doesn't work. # ebuild /var/db/pkg/dev-db/mysql-4.0.14-r2/mysql-4.0. 14-r2.ebuild config * Hmm, it appears as though you already have the mysql * database in place. If you are having problems trying * to start mysqld, perhaps you need to manually run * /usr/bin/mysql_install_db and/or check your config * file(s) and/or database(s) and/or logfile(s). # /usr/bin/mysql_install_db Installing all prepared tables PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! This is done with: /etc/init.d/mysql start (you have to start the server first!) /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h crusaderbox password 'new-password' /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions. NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run the /usr/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be able to use the new GRANT command! Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!

whoa. stop. do NOT use /usr/bin/mysql_install_db yourself! in your details below, you run 'mysqld' but you NEVER check that it started properly, and if you examined the logs or even the return code, you will see that it didn't ok, so for now lets assume you have no data you need in the mysql databases at all (because you can't even start it). /etc/init.d/mysql stop /etc/init.d/mysql zap rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/ (now follow the instructions on the webpage again) ebuild /var/db/pkg/dev-db/mysql-4.0.14-r2/mysql-4.0.14-r2.ebuild config /etc/init.d/mysql start (change password etc.) then it's done.
I get the same problems. I did what was suggested and it still does not work. Nothing is in the logs. I suggest the bug be reopened.
jeff: open a new bug and attach the mysqld log files.
