when I run the mysql like this it works.
/opt/mysql5158/bin/mysqld_safe --defaults-file=/opt/mysql5158/etc/my.cnf

I was able to login with phpmyadmin and import the database and the website is able to communicate..
when I shutdown the running safe mode mysql and try to start it like this

/opt/mysql5158/etc/mysql.server start

this is what I get

okay, I found the problem.. all i had to do was remove the /etc/my.cnf

arnold

/etc/my.cnf is usually where teh configuration file is usually located, you could link
ln -s /opt/mysql5158/etc/my.cnf /etc/my.cnf
