Starting MySQLCouldn't find MySQL manager or server

Solution 
Step 1.)

Rem out the line in /etc/my.conf that was setting basedir to /var/lib. As seen below:

user=mysql
#basedir=/var/lib

Step 2.)

Create the directory "/var/run/mysqld" if it does not exist. Then chown that directory to mysql.mysql as below...

mkdir /var/run/mysqld
chown mysql.mysql /var/run/mysqld

Step 3.)

Start the service..

service mysql start

※ basedir 이 /etc/init.d/mysqld 구동파일과 /etc/my.cnf 에 있을 수 있으니 둘 다 확인해보아야 합니다.
