Pls help.

I installed mysql 3.23.45 on Solaris 8, sun sparc.

mysql_install_db went through successfully, however mysqld daemon can't be
started.
userid/usergroup are created as mysql/mysql.

Here is what I did and the message.

shell> cd /usr/local/mysql
shell> ./bin/mysql_install_db
shell> ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &
[1] 525
#Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/var 021003
1:1:27 mysqld ended

I checked processes and could not find mysqld daemon.

I run
shell>./bin/mysqladmin version
got "
connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server throught socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (146)'
check that mysqld is running and that the socket: /tmp/mysql.sock/' exists!

Your mysqld process has eneded - "1:1:27 mysqld ended"
check error log for the reason
