Configuring and Starting MySQL remotely on 10.4

Aloha! I have an XServer located remotely and MySQL is not running. It’s headless and no one can log in locally to start it for me. I cannot figure out how to configure and start it via command line (there is nothing to start it in ServerAdmin). I’ve found some docs on the web such as this:

http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/osdb.html

But they mostly refer to installations of MySQL on client machines, not the built in MySQL that comes with the server, and the paths are different. I’ve tried fixing those paths, but still no luck.

Any suggestions appreciated.
