Error When Starting MySQL [UBUNTU 13.04]

[Mahmoud Abdel-Rahman]

I am trying to install MySQL 5.6.17 on Ubuntu Linux and I am having difficulties doing so. I opened the MySQL Reference and opened "Installing MySQL on Unix/Linux Using Generic Binaries". I followed the following step:

shell> groupadd mysql
shell> useradd -r -g mysql mysql
shell> cd /usr/local
shell> tar zxvf /path/to/mysql-VERSION-OS.tar.gz
shell> ln -s full-path-to-mysql-VERSION-OS mysql
shell> cd mysql
shell> chown -R mysql .
shell> chgrp -R mysql .
shell> scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
shell> chown -R root .
shell> chown -R mysql data
shell> bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
//Next command is optional
shell> cp support-files/mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysql.server

After that when I try to start MySQL using /etc/init.d/mysql.server start I get the following error: "Couldn't find MySQL server (/usr/bin/mysqld_safe)"

I looked in /usr/bin and I found mysqld_safe. Any suggestions on how to fix that problem. Please reply with a detailed solution.

Thank You
