Problems getting mysql to autoboot

[sedrik]

Hi all

I have problems getting MySQL autoboot on my RedHat installation. I have tried to add the mysql.server start script from the install dir to the system with chkconfig --add mysql (I copied it to /etc/init.d/) and then trying to add mysql to the default boot order with chkconfig mysql on but no luck there.

I have even tried to edit rc.local with the commands service mysql start (this work when I run it myself) and mysqld -u mysql ...

The log file says that mysql has been started and then ended directly after..

Anyone that have any tip on how to solve this?

Does the logfile give any indication of why MySQL stopped?

No, it gives no interesting info

It simply tells me that it has started and 4-5 seconds later that it has ended
