Asterisk Integration issue with external Mysql Server

Hi To all,

I am using asterisk 11.0.3 server,i am trying to integrate asterisk server with external mysql server i made /etc/my.cnf like this.

[mysqld]
character-set-server=utf8
collation_server=utf8_general_ci
skip-character-set-client-handshake
port=3306
#skip-innodb
innodb_data_file_path=INNODBDATA1:4096M
innodb_log_file_size=512M
datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
bind-address = *
#skip-networking
skip-external-locking
skip-name-resolve… … …
after this mysql is not running when i am restarting server

The mysql log like this.

140210 6:41:00 [Note] /usr/libexec/mysqld: Normal shutdown

140210 6:41:00 [Note] Event Scheduler: Purging the queue. 0 events
140210 6:41:00 InnoDB: Starting shutdown…
140210 6:41:05 InnoDB: Shutdown completed; log sequence number 0 44233
140210 6:41:05 [Note] /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown complete.

Can any one pls guide me what is the problem here and this is the way for connecting external mysql server or any other way.
