Craig,

Thanks! I also got it to work with /usr/bin/safe_mysqld -user=root &

Since I know everything is working now, I will change the user to something
other than root.

Mark

P.S. I am running 3.23.29-gamma

Having just gone thru this...
if you already used earlier versions...ie. 3.22 etc...you probably need to
run the command /usr/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables

then...

1. make sure that you have downloaded the 3.23.29 versions that were
updated.
2. start the daemon from "/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start" command.
