mysql won't start in Fedora, no error logs

I am a new user to fedora/linux systems >> Kindly help i want to start "mysql" on fedora 16

[root@localhost dear]# service mysqld start Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start mysqld.service Job failed.

Hi every body

I'm running a VP with Fedora 16 and I just install (and reinstall) mysql mysql-server, then I enable mysqld.service

Code: $ systemctl enable mysqld.service without problem. Then I try to load it

Code: $ systemctl start mysqld.service

Job failed.

Hello, I'm using Fedora 17 and installed MySQL 5.5.23 by executing #yum install mysql mysql-server about 3 months ago. Recently, I have a problem to start MySQL in my school server, when I execute

Code: #service mysqld start The output said:

Code: Redirecting to /bin/systemctl  start mysqld.service Job failed.

I have installed mysql and phpmyadmin via, yum. I get the message

#2002 - Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured).

The problem though, is with mysql itself.

# service mysqld start Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start mysqld.service Job failed.

Maybe the old service file is still active as /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/mysqld.service. Please do the following:sudo systemctl stop mysqld sudo systemctl disable mysqld sudo systemctl enable mysqld sudo systemctl start mysqldI had a similar issue here, too.

service mysqld start gives me:

Starting mysqld (via systemctl): Job failed.

im not really sure how to troubleshoot this, running Quote:

sudo service nfs start

results in this

Quote:

Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start nfs.service Job failed.

Thanks. I've reinstalled the package from testing.However i'm still unable to start the postgresql server. this time it goes like this:user@frodo:~$ sudo systemctl start postgresql.service Job failed.

Hello,

I have moved to Fedora 17 on 3 internal computers, all 3 were fresh installations.
