Also I looked into /var/lib/mysql (shouldn't that be /var/log on Linux/RPMS so
that they get rotated and such?)
there were a pant load of these:
mysqld ended on Wed Apr 28 22:25:04 PDT 1999
mysqld started on Wed Apr 28 22:26:12 PDT 1999
990428 22:26:12 Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied
990428 22:26:12 Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket:
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ?
990428 22:26:12 Aborting

there is no /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock file.
I'm running this as root too, so there should be no permission problem.
