Fw: [SLE] MySQL fails to start

I guess I forgot to copy the list... Dan

If you are using the 2.4 kernel, you need this patch:

Hi.

I'm a linux newbie, so no flames please ;) - I've just installed SuSE 7.1 to get an apache webserver running with PHP and MySQL... I installed the MySQL packages but it won't start.

I ran /usr/bin/mysql_install_db as root, and set start_mysql = "yes" in the RC-Config editor, using the YaST2 control center... Then restarted, but MySQL comes up as 'failed' during boot.
