I have recently installed MySql and I encourage an error.
I am using Fedora 15 and when I am trying to start mysqld service i am getting
the following error message:
If I try to start it from Service Configuration GUI it fails too.
Checking the system logs it just says:
If I try to type 'msql' from command line I am getting the following error
msg:
I have read about the /etc/my.cnf file and I tried to edit it somehow
but with no success.
My /etc/my.cnf contains the following:
Note that I have commented datadir and basedir. That's because I had the same mysqld problem yesterday and I found online that if I comment them it might work.And indeed the problem solved.
But later I tried to install moodle and I had to make some changes to the permission of some folders over /var/ directory. I had to play a little bit and in the end I manage to figure permissions in such a way that moodle was working. (Note that permission changes have been made after I managed to start mysqld successfully).
Today when I power my computer on and tried to restart httpd and mysqld, the latter one failed.
If I uncomment datadir and basedir mysqld still fails to start.
If I do 'ls -la /var/lib' I am getting the following about mysql:
If I do 'ls -la /var/lib/mysql' I am getting the contents of mysql:
I have noticed that if I do 'ls -la /tmp/' I can see the following about mysql.sock:
whereas I cannot find anything about mysql.sock on /var/lib/mysql
I tried to change socket to 'socket=/tmp/mysql.sock' in the my.cnf and
nothing changes.
I am not an expert user on linux. I hope the details I added above can
help you help me
I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advace!

Thank you for your answer. It seems that we have found something here.
This is the log of the last attempt to start mysqld service from
According to this the error is: unknown variable 'default-character-set=utf8'
If I comment that line from /etc/my.cnf file (on [mysqld]) then the log gives an unknown variable error again, but this time for default-collation=utf8_unicode_ci. If I comment both lines:
then mysqld starts successfully.
The thing is that moodle requires this two lines and I cannot comment them.
Any ideas of why I am getting the unknown variable problem ?

The strange think is that when I was installing moodle I had to change the character set of mysql and according to a moodle documentation I had to add those lines in my.cnf:
So according to you now I should delete the first two and leave only the latter two.
Things look to work fine now. I hope I will not have any further problems which I cannot see now.
