>Description:
I've posted before on this: running scripts/mysql_install_db
hangs at
'Installing all prepared tables'
and when i say hangs kill -9 is the only option.
I have been told to check permissions (they're all fine in
comparison with a working system also running RH6.2) and to
install from source (Yes, i've manually deleted everything
that had anything to do with mysql off the system and installed
from sources as per instructions. Everything went cleanly until
the mysql_install_db script).
Can anyone help with what the script is doing at that point
(i looked but can't figure it out). Why does it not report
an error? Hanging like that does not give me any clue as to
what i should be trying to fix.
More info: There was a working version of mysql running on this
machine (3.22.32 which stopped working (accepting connections)
without really dying (daemon kept running and starting on reboot)).
That was installed from an RPM and deinstalled using rpm. i have
since manually removed mysql directories that are not removed by rpm.
>How-To-Repeat:
scripts/mysql_install_db
hangs every time, whether the install is from RPM, binary or source
>Fix:
Throw the computer out the window?
