Hey,

I finally found the correct place to start  and did this:

/usr/sbin/mysqld start

but got back this message:

Starting MySQL:                                            [FAILED]
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root
[root@bestweb root]# /usr/sbin/mysqld start
040317 21:30:50  Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use
040317 21:30:50  Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?
040317 21:30:50  Aborting

040317 21:30:50  /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete


Now what do I do?

Thanks,
