    Do "rpm -q -a | grep -i mysql" on both pii3 and pii6 to see
    the installed MySQL versions: the pii6 version is obsolete, on pii3
    it is current. It would be reasonable to presume that the ROOT
    developers use current MySQL versions, hence the error.

    You cannot "start mysql from any pii's"??? Does the "mysql" executable
    refuse to start (what is the error?) or are you doing something entirely
    different? (what are the errors?)
