I recently installed MySQL and added the line below to my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file so that it starts on each reboot. /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld Each time I attempt to reboot my system the boot up sequence freezes when it hits that line. Since my machine wont even boot I am not certain on how to go about fixing the problem. Could someone please help me out with resolving the problem and let me know how to go about fixing this? I would appreciate it very much. Joel Leibow Internet Systems Developer Pro-Web Solutions
