 You appear to already have a MySQL database directory in /var/mysql
    
    

    
    

    
 The database directory has been preserved. If you want to start
    
    

    
 from the default database setup, you should perform these steps
    
    

    
 as root:
    
    

    
    

    
           rm -rf /var/mysql
    
    

    
           /usr/local/bin/mysql_install_db
