I am glad that it worked for you. I did that 4 times, and each time the
restart was foiled by selinux. Only a total, complete nuke job, cleaning up
all the leftovers with rm, succeeded in making a fresh install work.
That is very likely because you removed /var/lib/mysql, and did not
"restorecon /var/lib/mysql" when you re-created it.
I'm also still curious how your /tmp got its permissions restricted.
Did you do that intentionally?
