Hi, I appologise if I'm not posting this to the correct group, but I'm
having problems starting MySQL server. I need it in order to post a
websurvey for a research project I'm doing for a college computer ethics
class.
Well here is the output several commands, from netstat -a I can see that
MySQL is listening, but when I try to start the server I get a port error.
I'm running SUSE 9.1 and I searched all over the web for info on this error,
but nothing I found worked. I've been using Linux for a while now, but I'm a
newbie when it comes to MySQL. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's
the output and the error at the end.
