>Description: This happens whether launching mysqld directly or safe_mysqld. Following the instructions carefully (with the & backgrounder at the end), I get: /usr/local/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections but the prompt does not return. If you then hit ENTER on your keyboard, it begins to beep uncontrollably (using Win2K Telnet). Quitting ALL appli- cations doesn't even fix it, and Restart will not work. I'm forced to power down my PC or else annoy everyone else in the entire building! Perhaps the daemon isn't backgrounding properly. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Unknown. I'm hoping it doesn't present problems when I put it into my startup script. >Submitter-Id: <submitter ID> >Originator: Dave Kitabjian >Organization: >MySQL support: none >Synopsis: >Severity: unknown >Priority: >Category: mysql >Class: sw-bug >Release: mysql-3.22.27 (Source distribution) >Environment: System: FreeBSD ldap1.netcarrier.net 3.5-STABLE FreeBSD 3.5-STABLE #0: Thu Jul 6 13:30:20 EDT 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/compile/LB1 i386 Some paths: /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc GCC: gcc version 2.7.2.3 Compilation info: CC='gcc' CFLAGS='' CXX='gcc' CXXFLAGS='' LDFLAGS='' Configure command: ./configure --with-unix-socket-path=/var/tmp/mysql.sock --with-low-memory --with-mit-threads=yes Perl: This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i386-freebsd --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
