Speaking of mysqld.log, check the ownership and permissions. I vaguely
remember chasing a similar problem only to find out that it was being
caused by the log file not having the right permissions and ownership.
For mysqld.log the should be:
-rw-r----- 1 mysql mysql 249 Jan 18 16:50 mysqld.log
It also looks like you have multiple versions of mysqlclient plus the
mysql rpm (which is the standard client):
[root at ftp ~]# rpm -qa mysql*
> mysqlclient14-4.1.22-1.el4s1.1 <--First client
> mysqlclient10-devel-3.23.58-9.2.c4
> mysql-5.0.54-1.el4.centos <-- The centos client
> mysqlclient10-3.23.58-4.RHEL4.1 <-- Another one
> mysql-server-5.0.54-1.el4.centos
> mysqlclient10-3.23.58-9.2.c4 <-- and still another
> mysql-libs-5.0.54-1.el4.centos
which could explain why installing the server didn't work. You should
only have:
# rpm -qa | grep mysql
mysql-5.0.22-2.2.el5_1.1
php-mysql-5.1.6-15.el5
mysql-devel-5.0.22-2.2.el5_1.1
mysql-server-5.0.22-2.2.el5_1.1
Cheers,
Dave
