Hey, have u tried with the link I gave you ,it is clearly mentioned in that problem the solution for the problem.In the /var/lib/mysql directory there will be a script mysql_install_db run that script. sh mysql_install_db If you did not find that script in /var/lib/mysql check out /usr/share/doc/mysql-*/ the above directory might contain that script. Again I am posting what is specifed at that site Sometimes MySQL will fail to start because the host table in the mysql database wasn't created during the installation, this can be rectified by running the mysql_install_db command. [root@bigboy tmp]# service mysqld start Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon. Starting MySQL: [FAILED] [root@bigboy tmp]# tail /var/log/mysql.log For more information read this link http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/linux-adv/mysql.htm Regards Ankush Grover
