[cobalt-users] Mysql won't start among other issues - Patient in Stable Condition

[Grant Stern <grantstern@xxxxxxx>]

Ok, I did all the aliasing and ownership changes after mysql compiled
(finally), but now, I go to run the server and. . . . .

[root mysql-3.23.39]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start
[root mysql-3.23.39]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from
/home/mysql/data
020408 05:14:22  mysqld ended

There is not a process for the daemon after this.  There are test files in
the data directory.

[root /]# mysqld
020408  5:12:38  Can't create interrupt-thread (error 11, errno: 0)

Tried this next.

[root /]# /home/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password
'iputanauthenticpassherewithoutcomments'
/home/mysql/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/home/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/home/mysql/mysql.sock'
exists!

Ok, made a symbolic link (ln -s) and no go on the second try.  Any
suggestions?
