latest mysql upgrade wont start (2010.06) [fixed]

problem was that directory /var/run/mysql
was on ownership of root:root
and not on mysql:mysql

after changing it it started

error logs for mysql are fyi in /var/lib/mysql/whatever_name_you_have_there.err
and are not in /var/log

which made me a sad panda
