Searching the web for that error message seems to suggest it's a problem with permissions or wrong user. Maybe it's the permissions on your tmpdir (/var/db/mysql_tmpdir)? I think that should probably have the same ownership and permissions as your datadir (/var/db/mysql). You can read about...

I had restart the system : the system shows

$ service mysql-server status mysql is not running. $ service mysql-server start /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server: WARNING: failed precmd routine for mysql $
