can not "service mysqld start"


Hello!

I have mysql5.0 on fedora6. I am root user and can use "mysqld_safe --user=mysql & "to start mysql but can not use "service mysqld start", I can "service mysqld stop", I don't even use InnoDB, it will has error in error log

070425 mysqld started
070425 InnoDB: Operating system error number 13 in a file operation.
InnoDB: The error means mysqld does not have the access rights to
InnoDB: the directory.
InnoDB: File name ./ibdata1
InnoDB: File operation call: 'open'.
InnoDB: Cannot continue operation.
070425 mysqld ended

I check /var/lib/mysql and ibdata1 both are mysql user and mysql group, mysql is installed by add/remove.

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -aq *mys*
mysql-server-5.0.27-1.fc6
libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.8.1a-1.2.2
php-mysql-5.1.6-3.5.fc6
mysql-5.0.27-1.fc6
mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.12-2.2

I can not start mysql by "service mysqld start", the error is show in first post of the error log and following error

Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon.
Starting MySQL: [FAILED]

But I can stop mysql by "service mysqld stop"

I can start mysql by "mysqld_safe --user=mysql &"


any help?

You probably need to modify your startup script. Can you paste it here for us to see?

Code:
/usr/bin/mysqld_safe  --defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf --pid-file="$mypidfile" --log-error="$errlogfile" >/dev/null 2>&1 &
        ret=$?
In the "start" statement, what happens when you modify the command to be this:

Code:
/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql --defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf --pid-file="$mypidfile" --log-error="$errlogfile" >/dev/null 2>&1 &
        ret=$?

Take out the flag "defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf" in the script. By default, startup of mysql will look for an existance of that file anyhow.
