Hi, I have been running MySQL 3.22.32 for some time, and all has been ok until a week ago. Now mysqld seems to hang whenever I try to connect. I have checked the logs and nothing is reported there, and I thought at first it might be a hostname problem, but everything resolves ok. I start mysql with 'safe_mysqld --user=mysql &' and it appears to work, giving me the usual "Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/var". I then try to connect with 'mysql -password=mypassword' and it just hangs. The same thing if I try 'mysqladmin ping' etc.. I have run 'top' and the mysqld processes are idle. I have also tried 'telnet localhost 3306' and the socket connects. I have tried a fresh install of 3.22.32 and also tried 3.23.37, but I get the same thing. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Thanks in advance, Chris Beach.
