Unable to upgrade to 5.0: Address already in use

[Federico Giannici]

I have a strange problem: we have two OpenBSD 4.3 AMD64 servers. We 
upgraded one of them from 4.1 to 5.0 with no problem. But we are unable 
to upgrade the second one!

All the compilation and installation is OK (version 5.0.67). But when we 
try to run the server it stops and the following error is in the errors log:

080824 19:31:33  mysqld started
080824 19:31:34 [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address 
already in use
080824 19:31:34 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server 
running on port: 3306 ?
080824 19:31:34 [ERROR] Aborting
080824 19:31:34 [Note] /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown complete
080824 19:31:34  mysqld ended

Obviously we stopped the previous server before running the new one. And 
there is no other server running on port 3306. In fact, if we re-install 
version 4.1 it starts with no problem at all!

We made a lot of attempts but without any success. What make me crazy is 
that we had no problem with the other server. They have almost the same 
software and we used the same configure parameters.

I'm sure that the problem is due to something really stupid, but I 
cannot find it...

Anybody has any suggestion?


Thanks.
