Has anyone successfully installed SER on RH ES4?

I am getting MySQL errors when trying to start the service

or ser.pid errors.

my.cnf:

##################################################

# The following options will be passed to all MySQL clients

[client]

#password       = your_password

port            = 3306

socket          = /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock

[mysqld]

datadir=/var/lib/mysql

socket=/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock

[mysql.server]

user=mysql

basedir=/var/lib

[safe_mysqld]

err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log

pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

###################################################

SQL wants to see mysql.sock in /var/lib

SER wants to see mysql.sock in /var/run

BUT when I move mysql.sock to /var/lib by changing the paths

in my.cnf then SER gives me grief:

[root@localhost mysql]# serctl start

Starting SER : cat: /var/run/ser.pid: No such file or directory

started pid()
