    You need to disable secure linux
    I had this same problem when setting upo my phpbb forums a few weeks a go
    I believe it is in "system settings >> security level"
    set that to "low" or "off", etc any try it again

    I can't get mysql working either secure linux is disabled but i get the following error when i try to start it with "service mysqld start":
    Code:
    Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon.
Starting of MySQL:                                         [FAILED]
    (Last line is translated from dutch . Could be different.)

    uninstall the RPMs and run:

    rm -rf /var/lib/mysql /etc/my.cnf

    Then reinstall the RPM. This will start you over from scratch.

    Best,
