[Sussex] MySQL won't start

[Brendan Whelan]

Thanks to Nic and Steve for their responses I have now set the following in
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/hosts

127.0.0.1         localhost.localdomain                localhost

mountain           141.97.x.xxx



The MySQL database now starts!   Brendan
