[Ubuntu-US-CA] Fw: Re: [Question #102637]: E: mysql-server-5.0: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 E: mysql-server: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

[Mike Pontillo]

Hi Michael,

   I am by no means an expert in this area, but I would suggest you
take a look at /var/log/mysql.err and /var/log/mysql.log to see if you
can determine why mysql fails to start up. (You can use "System >
Administration > Log File Viewer" if you prefer)

Regards,
Mike
