problem starting server

Hi there,

I installed a mysql server on my Mac using homebrew.

$ mysql --version
mysql =A0Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.91, for apple-darwin10.0 (i386) using
EditLine wrapper

When trying to start it I get

$ mysql.server start
Starting MySQL
... ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file
(/usr/local/var/mysql/dbxserver.lan.pid).

What should I do to start MySQL?

does the mysql-user have write-permissions to /usr/local/var/mysql/?
this is the default workingdir and there are the databases stored
too in the "data" folder

RE: problem starting server

Go to the cmd line and type ps -ef , do you see mysqld listed? If so then i=
t is already running.
