On inspection of system logs it apears that selinux is preventing mysql form loading. This is confirmed as it works with selinux set on permissive. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. setenforce 1 2. yum install mysql-server 3. service mysqld start OR systemctl start mysqld.service Actual Results: `systemctl start mysqld.service` returns: "Job failed. See system logs and 'systemctl status' for details." `systectl status mysqld.service` returns: "mysqld.service - MySQL database server Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mysqld.service; disabled) Active: failed since Sun, 20 Nov 2011 12:58:16 +0800; 1min 9s ago Process: 7319 ExecStartPost=/usr/libexec/mysqld-wait-ready $MAINPID (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 8146 ExecStart=/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --nowatch --basedir=/usr (code=exited, status=127) Process: 8130 ExecStartPre=/usr/libexec/mysqld-prepare-db-dir (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 7318 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/mysqld.service" Expected Results: `systemctl start mysqld.service` should return with no output. `systectl status mysqld.service` should return: "mysqld.service - MySQL database server Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mysqld.service; disabled) Active: active (running) since Sun, 20 Nov 2011 12:59:54 +0800; 31s ago Process: 8354 ExecStartPost=/usr/libexec/mysqld-wait-ready $MAINPID (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 8203 ExecStart=/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --nowatch --basedir=/usr (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 8187 ExecStartPre=/usr/libexec/mysqld-prepare-db-dir (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 8353 (mysqld) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/mysqld.service └ 8353 /usr/libexec/mysqld --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --plugin-dir=/usr/lib64/mysql/plugin --log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log --pid-fil..." This is a fresh DVD install of Fedora 16 x86_64 installed yesterday.

FWIW - the problem can be resolved by following the instructions in SETroubleshoot, but that doesn't make it any less of a bug: allow this access for now by executing: # grep mysqld_safe /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp
