Check Assumptions

Verify that MySQL is not running

gentoo# /etc/init.d/mysql start

#ps -aef|grep mysql
root     13817 13519  0 08:30 pts/1    00:00:00 grep mysql

Review Evidence

Investigate the logs

gentoo# less /var/log/mysql/mysqld.err

Identify Problem

What does the log say?

070521 19:35:14 [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Cannot assign requested address
070521 19:35:14 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?
070521 19:35:14 [ERROR] Aborting
Resolution:
make sure that you have 127.0.0.1 ip address and nothing is running on port 3306
To make sure you have 127.0.0.1 ip, type:
ifconfig lo
if it does not display 127.0.0.1 IP then execute this:
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
To make sure that nothing is running on 3306
netstat -lntp | grep 3306
You should not get any output.
