Hi friends, I just installed MySQL 3.23.58 on an FC2 machine, but I can not start it : Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon. Starting MySQL: [FAILED] Please note that I found some threads recommending edit the mysqld scripts to $RANDOM and etc. But : I did not find any thing similar to recommendations in my own mysqld file and when I tried to change the similar parts I did not obtain any success and got same error message.
