Hi All:
I'm trying to get mysql 5 installed on my CentOS 4.6 installation. I've installed mysql using yum:
yum -y install perl-DBD-MySQL mysql-server mysql php-mysql mod_auth_mysql phpmyadmin mysqlclient
Yum says it installed fine:

But there isn't a my.cnf file in /etc/ Nor are there any files in: [root@ftp ~]# ls /var/lib/mysql/ mysql test [root@ftp ~]# ls /var/lib/mysql/mysql/
An rpm query shows everything should be installed: [root@ftp ~]# rpm -qa mysql mysql-5.0.54-1.el4.centos [root@ftp ~]# rpm -qa mysql* mysqlclient14-4.1.22-1.el4s1.1 mysqlclient10-devel-3.23.58-9.2.c4 mysql-5.0.54-1.el4.centos mysqlclient10-3.23.58-4.RHEL4.1 mysql-server-5.0.54-1.el4.centos mysqlclient10-3.23.58-9.2.c4 mysql-libs-5.0.54-1.el4.centos
Trying to start mysql results in: [root@ftp ~]# service mysqld start Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon. Starting MySQL: [FAILED]
Thoughts?
