MySQL crash WTF

[vincenzobar]

I have a problem with MySQL. Everytime my server goes down and restarts MySQL does NOT restart. The onlyway to get MySQL running again is by restarting the machine with a reboot.

I contacted my dedicated server provider hivelocity and they said its DA's problem since it is DA's software that installed it.

What is wrong.

I am running

Apache 1.3.29
DirectAdmin 1.22.4
Exim 4.24
MySQL 4.0.16
Named 9.2.1
ProFTPd 1.2.9
sshd
vm-Pop3d 1.1.7e

on redhat 9

thanks

Is MySQL setup to be restarted by DA?

The cconfig file is /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/services.list

i located my boot log and noticed a line that said "mysqld tried to locate server.innerearaudio.com.pid in /var/blah/blah

But it is there!!!!!! WTF

i just upgrades to the lates version of MySQL so i guess i will wait for the next server crash to find out if it is still screwed up! unless anyone has some more thoughts on this.
