RESOLUTION
This problem may occur under OS FedoraCore 1 and FC2. MySQL startup uses /usr/bin/mysqladmin utility with "ping" parameter, which requires administrator rights to be initialized. If Plesk is installed in the system the utility can not be executed and it returns negative error code.
To resolve it you should modify MySQL startup script.
In the /etc/init.d/mysqld script find the following lines and insert -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` between /usr/bin/mysqladmin and "ping" as in the example below:
# Spin for a maximum of ten seconds waiting for the server to come up
if [ -n "`/usr/bin/mysqladmin ping 2> /dev/null`" ]; then
break;
else
sleep 1;
fi
done
if !([ -n "`/usr/bin/mysqladmin ping 2> /dev/null`" ]); then
echo "Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon."
action $"Starting $prog: " /bin/false
else
# Spin for a maximum of ten seconds waiting for the server to come up
if [ -n "`/usr/bin/mysqladmin -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` ping 2> /dev/null`" ]; then
break;
else
sleep 1;
fi
done
if !([ -n "`/usr/bin/mysqladmin -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` ping 2> /dev/null`" ]); then
