Trouble starting mysqld
Hi everybody,
I'm trying to install mysql. I got the source, compiled and installed it, but it didn't work. I did something wrong along the way, but just gave up. So I went ahead and installed an rpm. I made the mistake of just clearing the entire mysql directory from my /usr/local/mysql directory, hoping that it would go away, but now when I start service mysql and then run mysqladmin, i get this:
040203 17:32:06 Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use
040203 17:32:06 Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?
040203 17:32:06 Aborting
040203 17:32:06 mysqld: Shutdown Complete
I guess I didn't remove enough of the previous installation. How can i remove the entire thing and then let the new rpm take care of itself?
