LAMP System Fedora Core 6 MySQL start error

Hi
I was following the tutorial by Falko A LAMP System With Fedora Core 6 and I get to paragraph 9 MySQL (5.0) and try to start mysqld as follows:

[root@aimsafe ~]# /etc/init.d/mysqld start
Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon.
Starting MySQL: [FAILED]

I have google for days but still don't know what to do. I am newbie. I think
I am root, I only have root user as far as I know. I don't know where to
find the <hostname>.err log. or the sqld data directory. I used locate command ie locate / -name mysql*.err but nothing.

Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks..gavino

This looks wrong. Did you accidentally do a chmod on /?
It should look like this instead:

Code:

mh1:~# ls -la /
insgesamt 4317
[B][COLOR="Red"]drwxr-xr-x[/COLOR][/B]   20 root     root         4096  7. Mär 13:47 .
[B][COLOR="Red"]drwxr-xr-x[/COLOR][/B]   20 root     root         4096  7. Mär 13:47 ..

 

Thanks Falko and Till, it's fixed, ok now, SQL starts without error.
I did this (chmod 755 /) and the (ls -la /) is now ok.
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 Apr 28 20:24 .
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 Apr 28 20:24 ..
Thanks again...gavino
