Works for me -- absolutely no problem.

Did you look at the error log?  That's usually found in
/var/db/mysql/${hostname}.err

There's plenty of configuration errors that can prevent mysql starting
up -- if you're upgrading from an older version of mysql, even though it
may have used to work, watch out for some configuration parameters
needing to be modified due to changed requirements from the program.
mysql will tell you exactly what the problem is in that case.

Oh, and at some point the old my.cnf location of /var/db/mysql/my.cnf,
already deprecated, will switch to /usr/local/etc/my.cnf -- you might
not be the config file you thought you were.

	Cheers,
