I don't understand what happened. I haven't touched the server in a while, and when I typed the code Code: service mysqld start CentOS 6.3 replies with an Code: MySQL Daemon failed to start. Starting mysqld: [FAILED] I looked though the log files, and it gave me this...

Thank you for the reply. And yes, I can check the partitions, but none of them are full. None are even beyond 20% of usage as of this moment.
Thanks for the reply, and yes, here it is. Quite long though...

Your / directory is owned by the user apache and has 700 permissions which is wrong. For me it looks like this: Code: drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 Oct 8 17:00 .. Did you do a chmod and chown on the / directory?
Thanks for the reply, and for your questions, yes, I think I did. Should I return it to root? If so, what would be the proper code to use? Thanks~ ---edit--- Okay, so I used Code: chmod 755 / and now it displays this... Code: total 354844 drwxrwxrwx. 8 root root 4096 Oct 10 11:22 . drwxr-xr-x. 28 root root 4096 Oct 10 09:34 .. Is this okay now? I still cannot run MySQL... Code: MySQL Daemon failed to start. Starting mysqld: [FAILED] ---edit 2--- Okay, I think I have fixed it. MySQL will now start when I type Code: service mysqld start . I think I should post here the things I did, for future reference? The first thing I did was reinstall both mysql and mysql-server through yum. And then, after reinstalling was done, I typed these following codes... Code: chown -R mysql.mysql /var/lib/mysql Code: su - mysql I am not sure if those set of codes really fixed it, but those are the ones I used, and the MySQL Daemon error message is no longer appearing, and MySQL is starting with no problems.
