[Openvds-support] MySQL

I hope there are other people on this list by now :)

I'm trying to run MySQL in a VS, but keep getting this error:

011207 12:37:04  mysqld started
011207 12:37:04  Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission 
denied
011207 12:37:04  Do you already have another mysqld server running on 
socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ?
011207 12:37:04  Aborting
011207 12:37:04  mysqld ended

(from the mysql.log)

This is using the following packages:

        freevsd-1.4.9-2rh7.i386.rpm
        freevsd-pkgs-1.4.9-2rh7.i686.rpm
        mysql-3.23.36-1.i386.rpm
        mysqlclient9-3.23.22-4.i386.rpm
        mysql-devel-3.23.36-1.i386.rpm
        mysql-server-3.23.36-1.i386.rpm

I'm using Red Hat linux 7.1 with kernel 2.4.2-2smp. The skel is one I
generated using the "vsd-genskel.pl" script. AFAIK, all relevant
directories were generated correctly, and there is a "mysql" user and
group on the VS. There is no other mysql server running on the host, and I
invoked the VS's mysql with:

/usr/bin/safe_mysqld --defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf --bind-address=a.b.c.d

where a.b.c.d is the IP of the virtual server. Any ideas what's going on?

TIA,
