Was ruuning fine until.........

[tchatzi]

I had 3.23, it was working fine.
I installed as root, and it used to start as root.

Now i used rpm -U package and it does not start.
What i get from /var/log/mysqld.log is

050611 10:57:37  mysqld started
050611 10:57:37 [Warning] Asked for 196608 thread stack, but got 126976
050611 10:57:37 [ERROR] Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied
050611 10:57:37 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ?
050611 10:57:37 [ERROR] Aborting

050611 10:57:37 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown complete

050611 10:57:37  mysqld ended

All files and folders that have to do with mysql have the folloing permissions
root:mysql foo
and in the file my.cnf has

[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
     
[mysql.server]
user=root
basedir=/var/lib

[safe_mysqld]
err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

which are all correct......
where should i start from ..........?
Thanks

All files and folders that have to do with mysql have the folloing permissions
root:mysql foo

All you have to do is change it to

mysql:root foo
