环境： mysql55 redhat5.7
首先阐明，去年用arch时玩mariadb，用的很顺风顺水.... 但是今年在arch下我的mariadb也一直没安装成功，情况基本跟现在一样...之前没有填坑，现在必须弥补了...
安装完后，启动失败...但并不清楚问题出在哪儿....试了下mysqld -urooot登录，发现是这个错误：
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mys ql.sock' (2)
这个sock文件是不存在的...
我尝试安全启动，但是还是错误，下面是找到的错误日志（/var/lib/mysql/test.err）：

其它地方的日志基本就没有有用的信息了(可能是我没找全)
看了错误日志，发现错误，按照提示执行命令，但是又出现这个结果...
根据错误日志，请检查你的my.cnf,应该是你现在的版本不支持 --skip-locking，应该可以使用 --skip-external-locking 替代。
