probably a permissions problem that I cannot figure out.

mySQL-5.1.34-osx10.4-powerpc-64bit

Not sure how this happened, but mySql will not start anymore, either
from the command line or the system pref control panel.

here's a startup sample: [I have blocked out the password]

Power-Mac-G5:/usr/local/mysql chriselhardt$ sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/
mysqld_safe --user=root --password=xxxx
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe: line 209: /usr/bin/grep: cannot
execute binary file
100113 16:21:07 mysqld_safe Logging to '/usr/local/mysql/data/Power-
Mac-G5.local.err'.
100113 16:21:07 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases
from /usr/local/mysql/data
100113 16:21:08 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /usr/local/mysql/
data/Power-Mac-G5.local.pid ended
Power-Mac-G5:/usr/local/mysql chriselhardt$ pwd
/usr/local/mysql

and another one:

Power-Mac-G5:/usr/local/mysql chriselhardt$ sudo /usr/local/mysql/
support-files/mysql.server start
Starting MySQL.. ERROR! Manager of pid-file quit without updating file.


where are the config files supposed to be? ~Users/
chriselhardt/.my.cnf has only a single line,
[mySQL]
and I'm pretty sure there used to be more in there than that.


Thanks for any assistance.
