Description:
MySQL will not automatically start when booting the computer.  I had this problem with 5.0.3 and 5.0.4 fixed it (bug 9829).  If I go to the command line and manually invoke "mysql.server start", I get the following:

Starting MySQL................................... ERROR! 

I can manually start the server with "mysqld_safe".

How to repeat:
Install 5.0.6.

Apparently 5.0.6 will not launch from mysql.server if there is no my.cnf file in the data directory.  I added my.cnf to the /usr/local/mysql/data directory and automatic start-ups work fine now.

Oh, yeah, here's the message from the error log:

050610 07:54:37 mysqld started 
Could not open required defaults file: /usr/local/mysql/data/my.cnf 
Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted 
050610 07:54:37 mysqld ended
