Hallo Brian! }Version: 1.0.16-2 } }After upgrading from v1.0.14...
I have tried this, too, but haven't had any problems. }The /var/log/msql directory is: } }drwxr-x--- 2 operator msql 1024 Aug 23 15:11 /var/log/msql/ } }It should be owned by "root.msql" and have the permissions "775". It is owned by msql.msql. There might be a problem with your uid/gid that I don't understand because the postinst is testing and correcting them. I change it to mode 755. }The /etc/msql.acl file is: } }-rwx------ 1 operator msql 300 Aug 23 15:08 /etc/msql.acl* } }It should be owned by "msql.msql" and have the permissions "775". It _is_ owned by msql.msql and should never be a+x. As this file contains rules for accessing databases that no everyone should know I don't believe that is should be world-readable. Especially because of miserable access rules every user could easily think of spoofing. }*** The install script removed the existing "msql.acl" file I had made. }Good thing I make backups! I'm awfully sorry, this seems to be the case because of msqld replaces msql-server. This didn't happen here. }Fixing these and restarting using "/etc/init.d/msqld start" gives }the following error (repeatedly)... }>Can't start server : UNIX Bind : Permission denied Then another msqld is already running, kill it with killall. }> }>mSQL Server 1.0.16 starting ... } } }The unix socket is: } }srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 21 15:52 /dev/msql= } }This should probably be owned by "root.msql", but shouldn't be the }cause of this problem. No, my msql-package doesn't provide a socket in /dev but in /var/run/msql. This socket was used by the old msql package. }Trying to stop these repeated message by doing "/etc/init.d/msqld stop" }gives the following error: } }callandor:/etc# /etc/init.d/msqld stop }ERROR : Can't connect to local MSQL server }rm: /var/run/msqld/shutdown: Permission denied }rm: /var/run/msqld/shutdown: Permission denied This all seems to be a result of incompatibilities betweeen these two packages. }The shutdown file is: } }-rw-r----- 1 root root 5 Aug 23 15:52 /var/run/msqld/shutdown } }Since I ran the stop command as root, the only thing I can think of here }is that something is running as user/group "msql" and could thus not access }the shutdown file. Do you still have any problems after rebooting?
