Hi!
i just update debian to the new mysql version and it doesnt restart anymore. when i tri mysqld command whit --safe-mode parameter or any other, it says
server:/# mysqld
mysqld: unrecognized option `--skip-external-locking'

it seems like the `--skip-external-locking' is used by default, but it doesnt recognize it.
anyone knows what is happening?

thanx for advanced!..

So what does /etc/init.d/mysql restart do? That is supposedly the "correct" way of restarting the mysql service on Debian.

I´ve allready fix the problem. anyway thanx for your help.
the problem was apt-get change mi my.cnf and the server start whit some commands dont recognized.
I use a backup of mi my.cnf file and fix the problem
the password for debian-admin sql user, chage too, so if anybody have this problem dont forget to change it from the mysql privileges database.
