Problemas inicializar MySQL.

Dae galera, ao iniciar meu mysql está dando a seguinte msn:

Código :

Starting MySQL database server: mysqld...failed.
        Please take a look at the syslog.
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!

Nos logs(syslog):

Código :

Mar 14 11:43:15 fatecorg mysqld_safe[10322]: started
Mar 14 11:43:15 fatecorg mysqld[10326]: 070314 11:43:15 /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown variable 'expire_logs_days=10'

Alguém sabe a solução para isso ou já teve este mesmo problema?

Tenta um: mysql_install_db e depois roda denovo

pois é, eu tinha tentado este comando já antes.

Código :

# mysql_install_db
Installing all prepared tables
070314 13:38:36 /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown variable 'expire_logs_days=10'
 
Installation of grant tables failed!
 
Examine the logs in /var/lib/mysql for more information.
You can also try to start the mysqld daemon with:
/usr/sbin/mysqld --skip-grant &
You can use the command line tool
/usr/bin/mysql to connect to the mysql
database and look at the grant tables:
 
shell> /usr/bin/mysql -u root mysql
mysql> show tables
 
Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log
gives you a log in /var/lib/mysql that may be helpful.
 
The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at
http://www.mysql.com
Please consult the MySQL manual section: 'Problems running mysql_install_db',
and the manual section that describes problems on your OS.
Another information source is the MySQL email archive.
Please check all of the above before mailing us!
And if you do mail us, you MUST use the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!

Ele ta com permissão?
chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/var
chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/var

Esta pasta não existe não.

Código :

/# find -name mysql
./etc/init.d/mysql
./etc/mysql
./usr/bin/mysql
./usr/lib/perl5/DBD/mysql
./usr/lib/perl5/auto/DBD/mysql
./usr/share/mysql
./var/cache/mysql
./var/lib/mysql
./var/lib/mysql/mysql
./var/log/mysql

Instalou por pacote? ou compilou?

Cara, da uma olhada nesse link ai.
Claro que você vai perder uns breves 50min e tal mas talvez consiga fácilmente corrigir.
