problem Part II

[Michael Widenius]

Hi!

I was scanning old mails to check if we have any unsolved problems and
come across the belove mail message.  Do you still have this problem
or have you managed to solve this?

Anyway, the error you get means that your MySQL server was already
started by mysql_install_db. You should be able to start using MySQL
now;  Try doing 'mysqladmin version'


Regards,
Monty
