Posted April 24, 200519 yr Hi again guys, I've just compiled MySQL on my linux box, and have been trying to start it. However, when I do try and start it, all that happens is: ../mysql start Starting MySQL................................... ERROR! There is no error code, so I'm not sure what's stopping it from starting. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Have you ever realised that anyone driving faster than you is an idiot and anyone driving slower than you is a loser?

April 24, 200519 yr Author Oh, sorry, forgot to tell you that MySQL was compiled by myself and "mysql" was a symbolic link I set up to start the thing. It definitely links back to the MySQL start file OK, as the command does cause the "Starting MySQL" message to appear. Have you ever realised that anyone driving faster than you is an idiot and anyone driving slower than you is a loser?
