Dear there, After install mysql 4.1.12 by using rpm, I have some problems to restart server after shutting down it. When I use "mysqld_safe" try to restart, it give me error as follws:
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql STOPPING server from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid 050525 18:08:04 mysqld ended Then, I notice in /var/run directory, there is no directory called mysqld. And I also not familiar with mysqld.pid file. But when I use /etc/init.d/mysql start, the server can restart again. So, what's wrong? Maybe the path /var/run/mysqld is not right? Another quesion is when I use " SELECT Host, User FROM mysql.user;" command in mysql, it give me error: ERROR 1046 (3D000): No database selected. what is "mysql.user" database? Is it created automatically after start mysql first time? I just beginner of mysql. Please help! Thanks a lot! ying
