Mysqld error
 

I am trying to make MySQL server run on my mandrake 10.1 instalation. I installed the MySql server and client through the mandrake software installer in the control panel. I change the user to mysql and type mysqld_safe to start the server. This is the result:
bash-2.05b$ mysqld_safe
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
050421 03:33:26 mysqld ended

I am fairly new to linux and completely new to MySQL.

Hi jjwl89,

A few things to check:
1) See if the process is still running, it may not have really quit. 'ps -A|grep mysql' should find it for you.
2) To run a program and get your terminal back again run it with an ampersand after the command. ie: 'mysqld &'. This will run the program and keep it running even after you close your terminal (so it won't quit so fast.
3) I'm not that good with mysql, so that's all I can think of right now.

Good luck!

See if this helps;
