We're sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking help on using MySQL products. Your problem is not the result of a bug.

Support on using our products is available both free in our forums at http://forums.mysql.com/ and for a reasonable fee direct from our skilled support engineers at http://www.mysql.com/support/

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.

i can repeat this bug again to install the rpm -ivh MySQL-server-5.5.19-1.linux2.6.i386.rpm

Please, provide the entire output of:

rpm -ivh MySQL-server-5.5.19-1.linux2.6.i386.rpm

[root@ip---- MySQL-5.5.19-1.linux2.6.i386.tar_FILES]# rpm -ivh MySQL-server-5.5.19-1.linux2.6.i386.rpm

Thank you for the feedback.

I can not repeat described behavior. Please try with current version 5.5.20 and if problem still exists provide output of ps -ef | grep mysql

Thank to you for reply,but i had installed again above rpm package then it showed that error but at last i got successful installation with 5.5.19

thanks

Thank you for the feedback.

Closing this mystery as "Can't repeat", because you finally successfully installed MySQL from RPM package.

Thank you for the feedback.

Now I got same error as you. I used MySQL-server package. Verified as described.

Server is installed though.

Not enough information to understand whether this was a problem specific to the 5.5.19 generic RPMs or not. The lack of similar reports indicate that it was something specific to 5.5.19. I am thus closing this, since considerable time has passed.
