MySQL5 upgrade

[mickalo]

Hello,

we ran the upgrade earlier today and can not get MySQL restarted now, keep getting the following error:

Starting MySQLCouldn't find MySQL manager or server

ran easyapache again, still no luck getting mysql restarted now. any suggestion on how to get MySQL going again?? We were running 4.1.21 before with no problems. These are the RPM's installed now after the upgrade:

MySQL-embedded-4.1.21-0.glibc23
MySQL-shared-5.0.24-0.glibc23
MySQL-server-5.0.24-0.glibc23
MySQL-devel-5.0.24-0.glibc23
MySQL-bench-5.0.24-0.glibc23
MySQL-client-5.0.24-0.glibc23

so it appears everything is there.

TIA.

Mickalo

thanks!

that did the trick. we had to comment out the following line in the /etc/my.cnf file:

[mysql.server]
user=mysql
#basedir=/var/lib

commenting out the basedir did the trick.

Much appreciated,

Mickalo
