[SATLUG] Mysql service problem

[Caleb Wylie]

I have a strange problem with Mysql... everytime i start it running
the command "service mysqld start" from root I recieve the following.


[root at Phoenix log]# service mysqld start
Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon.
Starting MySQL:                                            [FAILED]


I check the logs for the failure to find none... tail from log. 


[root at Phoenix log]# tail mysqld.log
040906 11:29:06  mysqld started
/usr/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections
040906 11:36:44  /usr/libexec/mysqld: Normal shutdown

040906 11:36:44  /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown Complete

040906 11:36:44  mysqld ended

040906 11:36:50  mysqld started
/usr/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections


I am able to login and work with I just find it very perplexing that
it is not starting successfully.  Also it seems to be trying to run in
safe mode.

root      5158  0.0  0.5  4248 1144 pts/0    S    11:29   0:00 /bin/sh
/usr/bin/safe_mysqld --defau
mysql     5182  0.0  2.2 29696 5112 pts/0    S    11:29   0:00
/usr/libexec/mysqld --defaults-file=

Is this correct can anyone verify this for me.   As i am not sure this
is the correct way of it starting.

Thankyou ahead of time.
