Nice one (welcome:)
Authored by: atl on Apr 13, '01 02:22:11PM
I noticed that safe_mysqld caused a hang, too. I *suspect* (though I haven't tried it), that following it with an ampersand (e.g. safe_mysqld &) would make things happier. You can also make things safer by not running the mysqld as root. One way to do it is:
sudo -u mysql /usr/local/share/mysql/mysql.server start
...but it seems like a nasty way to do it. There is reference in the docs to changing the user by using /etc/my.cnf, but my initial experiments haven't yielded anything there.
