Somehow when I stopped mysqld, the owner of /var/run/mysqld (the location of the pid) was obliterated -- the folder was owned by no one. I chown'd it back to mysql and mysqld started up normally. Hope this helps someone. I fixed this problem on my server.

Seems I already had another MySQL process running somehow! After killing it, I was able to run mysqld_safe successfully. I had the same problem.

It will be a bit more secure that way. If that works, you can probably set the file ownership back to their original values and see if it still works. It will be a bit more secure that way.

Maybe it's not 'mysql'? Anyway, can you just chmod -R 777 * in the data dir (or even the whole mysql dir), then pull back perms after that? do you know which user the safe daemon is running with?
