So I am attempting a 5.0 upgrade from 4.1 on one of our OS X servers...
When attempting to launch mysqld it quits, with this error (showing
two from the log files, happens with our build or the MySQL binary):
050617 14:03:46 mysqld started
/usr/local/mysql-standard-5.0.7-beta-osx10.3-powerpc/bin/mysqld_safe:
line 2: --datadir=/mysqldata2: No such file or directory
050617 14:03:46 mysqld ended
050617 14:07:58 mysqld started
/usr/local/mysql-lw64bit-5.0.7-apple-darwin8.1-powerpc/bin/
mysqld_safe64: line 2: --datadir=/mysqldata2: No such file or directory
050617 14:07:58 mysqld ended
Needless to say /mysqldata2 is present and accounted for, and has the
correct permissions for mysql to be able to read/write data... It is
a symlink to another volume, but if I substitute the true path to the
volume, I get the same error...
I had problems with one version of 4.1 having problems figuring out
where to write the log files and it turned out to be an absolute file
name issue... eg it treated /logs/binlogs as being relative to the
data directory, and not an absolute directory... I resolved that by
changing the log file setting to read ../logs/binlogs and it worked
fine. Assuming there was a similar problem here I have tried various
levels of ../../mysqldata2 to make sure I am escaping from whatever
directory it is starting me in, and have failed to get there, after
switching up 7 levels, far more than would be needed to get back to
root from anywhere in /usr/local/mysql-any-version
Any idea how I can get MySQL 5.0 to launch here would be greatly
appreciated :-)
Best Regards, Bruce
