Dear Sirs: I attempted another mysql install on an exact same system that failed, although following the same process on server #1 succeeded. Here is the output of ./configure, which tries to start the mysql server, but shuts it down immediately:
cabuov02:/opt/apps/mysql# ./configure NOTE: This is a MySQL binary distribution. It's ready to run, you don't need to configure it! To help you a bit, I am now going to create the needed MySQL databases and start the MySQL server for you. If you run into any trouble, please consult the MySQL manual, that you can find in the Docs directory. Installing all prepared tables Fill help tables To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands: ./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' ./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h cabuov02 password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions. NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run the ./bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be able to use the new GRANT command! You can start the MySQL daemon with: cd . ; ./bin/mysqld_safe & You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench' directory: cd sql-bench ; perl run-all-tests Please report any problems with the ./bin/mysqlbug script! The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at http://www.mysql.com Support MySQL by buying support/licenses at https://order.mysql.com Starting the mysqld server. You can test that it is up and running with the command: ./bin/mysqladmin version cabuov02:/opt/apps/mysql# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /opt/apps/mysql/data STOPPING server from pid file /opt/apps/mysql/data/cabuov02.pid 050311 12:12:08 mysqld ended Any insight you could give me on this matter would be HIGHLY APPRECIATED, and thanks!
