title: MySQL Cannot Resolve Hostname
body: <p>i have a problem with MySQL Server on Gentoo. When starting with /etc/init.d/mysql it simply hangs an nothing is happening until you interrupt with CTL + C. By trying to start with mysqld directly, mysqld says:</p>
  
  <p>131007  0:54:00 [ERROR] Can't start server: cannot resolve hostname!: Bad message</p>
  
  <p>131007  0:54:00 [ERROR] Aborting</p>
  
  <p>In many forums it was sugested to add the skip-name-resolve option to my.cnf. I tried this
  but it didn't help.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone had the same problem and knows how to solve this issue ?</p>
