Starting MySQL… ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file
Sometimes you may see this error in your server. But don’t panic, just rename or move away the /etc/my.cnf in your server, and try to restart the MySQLd again.

Perfect!
thanx buddy that worked…. :D
Thank you! You saved my VPS, and my sanity!
you are retarded. of course it worked, you just zeroed out your configuration to the defaults. ctrl-alt-delete yourself from the surface of the earth
good work sir
The better advice would be “Remove anything you recently added to my.cnf and remove the file as a last resort” Unless you already have a bare-defaults my.cnf, by removing it you’re destroying *any* configuration options in favor of defaults, which among other things, are rather insecure. Binding MySQL to all open IPs and removing any caching, replication, and data information is *not* the solution to a typo’d configuration statement.

I can testify that this was the answer. Thank you so much to you and curses to Google for not getting me here sooner :D
Happy days.
this type of error is very generic, i think it is better practice to check the logfiles to see exactly what went wrong.
Also, check if you have SELinux activated, if so, deactivate SELinux and restarts the machine.
thank you thank you thank you Justin!!! :,D
It did not work, I deleted the file and then try to start, and nothing!
