今天在编译安装mysql5.6时候出现Starting MySQL... ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file (/var/lib/mysql/localhost.localdomain.pid).，当时就心碎了，之前安装时候好好的，在网上搜索帮助方法，可是没有和我一样的，有的说我没有给mysqld赋权限，可是我赋予他权限了，试了一堆方法，最后心灰意冷，准备删除mysql重新安装，就在我执行：yum remove mysql mysql-server mysql-libs compat-mysql 时候，进度行一直再走，猛地看到了这些：
