MySQL won't start when upgrading to Snow Leopard

Today I upgraded from Leopard (10.5) to Snow Leopard (10.6). After upgrading MySQL wouldn't start so I downloaded MySQL 5.5.8 (64bit) dmg. I installed MySQL, Startup Item and PrefPane.

After this I tried to 'Start mySQL Server' from System Preferences but nothing happens. The Server instance remains at stopped.

Does anybody have any advice for fixing this and getting MySQL up and running again?

I'm not a developer so I'm not even sure where to begin when trying to debug this. Any advice is much appreciated.

I would start by opening Console and monitoring the System Log while attempting to start MySQL. And also mysql error log, wherever you have configure it to be.
