请看下面这个奇怪问题

[root@shanghai jesonc]# rpm -ivh MySQL-server-5.1.36-0.glibc23.i386.rpm
Preparing packages for installation...

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:

/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h shanghai password 'new-password'

Alternatively you can run:
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

which will also give you the option of removing the test
databases and anonymous user created by default.  This is
strongly recommended for production servers.

See the manual for more instructions.

Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!

Starting MySQL..Manager of pid-file quit without updating file.[FAILED]

这是什么问题，我用的是REDHAT 4，好象提示什么文件没有了吧，我是这方面的菜鸟，高手给提示下自己解决

自己启动一下数据库看看，
Starting MySQL..Manager of pid-file quit without updating file.[FAILED]
这条的确不太对劲。

启动不了，提示找不到/var/lib/mysql/sock.so这个文件，好象是sock.so，具体记不太清了

vermouth

mysql.sock 吧，可能在 /tmp 里哦。仔细看下 my.cnf ~

楼上兄弟，谢谢你
不过很奇怪，我虚拟机重启后就可以正常起来了，MYSQL
[root@shanghai init.d]# ./mysql stop
Shutting down MySQL.                                       [  OK  ]
[root@shanghai init.d]# ./mysql start
Starting MySQL.                                            [  OK  ]

仔细看配置，每台机子的 sock 存放位置不一定相同。
