Examine the logs in /usr/local/mysql/data for more information.
You can also try to start the mysqld daemon with:
/usr/libexec/mysqld --skip-grant &
You can use the command line tool
/usr/bin/mysql to connect to the mysql
database and look at the grant tables:
shell> /usr/bin/mysql -u root mysql
mysql> show tables
Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log
gives you a log in /usr/local/mysql/data that may be helpful.
