unable to start MySQL

[tikual]

Hi all,

My server FC4 was unable to start MySQL. I have tried to use yum to remove and install MySQL several times. How can I solve this problem? Hope someone can give me a hand.

# service mysqld start
Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon.
Starting MySQL: [FAILED]
#
#
# service mysqld status
mysqld dead but subsys locked

Hi sedj,

My problem is caused by me because I changed the mode of /tmp before from 1777 to 775. The temp file was unable to be created and failed to startup MySQL. Thanks for your help because I forgot the basic troubleshoot skill. That is checking the log before asking the question. ^^'
