This question has been asked verbatim about a dozen times on this forum, and yet none of the solutions have worked for me.

I'm trying to install mysql and everytime I try to install I get this message shortly, after being asked to provide a password for mysql root, while setting up mysql-server-5.5:

I'm trying to setup Simple Machines Forum which uses MySQL, which I had installed but it wasn't being used for anything.I forgot the passwords and what not and figured it would be easiest to just start fresh, so I purged all mysql stuff and installed again.It won't start now.  It says "Starting MySQL database server: mysqld . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Hi guys!

I appear to have an issue with a broken package. I'm using 12.04 LTS on an MSI netbook and every time I install a new package I get this error:

Setting up isc-dhcp-server (4.1.ESV-R4-0ubuntu5.2) ... start: Job failed to start invoke-rc.d: initscript isc-dhcp-server, action "start" failed.

Really Broken MySql Setup 1 year 6 weeks ago

I have been having trouble with my MySql setup. This morning it was a working mysql server I added a database and some data with phpMyAdmin then things started to go wrong.

I became unable to connect getting ERROR 2002 unable to connect to socket.

I have completley unistalled mysql server (as best I can) and deleted database files. And now I cannot reinstall it.

I think yum is having problems installing MySQL 5.1 because there is already a pre-existing MySQL 5.5 installation.

I wanted to cleanly remove MySQL 5.5 (I had problems with 5.5 with PHP and Python).

I can start mysql fine,

/usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start Starting MySQL SUCCESS!

But any mysql action after that I get the error: MySQL server PID file could not be found

/usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop ERROR! MySQL server PID file could not be found!

Where do I find the server PID file on Mac with OSX 10.8? I am wondering if it is a permission problem.
