i have installed MySQL and i cant start it... ( maybe i wrong something,somewhere ) )

i receive that when i try to start it..

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

what and where must i type to start it..!!!

What distro, how did you install, post the readme or install file.

Try running mysql_install_db but backup /var/lib/mysql first!

Try service mysqld start

nope dont w0rx... same error again!

Have you got apt? (debian package managing utility) or yum, try to upgrade. apt has a fix command that will repair a program. othewise uninstall and try again using apt or yum.


WD

yes i have it...with apt i have installed the mysql-server ...
the problem is that it cant START!!!...

i am running on FC3

if your running fc3 then you have yum, try removing the mysql package and then use yum:

yum install mysql

I'm running fc3 and used yum rather than RH package manager, and everything was aok.

WD

no i Using apt-get not yum ( i dont have it on machine.. )

and the package is installed!!!.....but the sql server dont start..

thats showed on error log...
