-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I use a local MySQL server (we're using 4.0) for development. It's been running cleanly for months - and the configuration file has not changed. This morning we had a major power problem causing the machine to come down in an unorderly manner. I can no longer start MySQL, it stops as soon as it starts. The log messages I'm seeing are:
Feb 8 11:34:34 photon mysqld_safe[9615]: started Feb 8 11:34:34 photon mysqld[9619]: 060208 11:34:34 Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Cannot assign requested address Feb 8 11:34:34 photon mysqld[9619]: 060208 11:34:34 Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ? Feb 8 11:34:34 photon mysqld[9619]: 060208 11:34:34 Aborting Feb 8 11:34:34 photon mysqld[9619]: Feb 8 11:34:34 photon mysqld[9619]: 060208 11:34:34 /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete Feb 8 11:34:34 photon mysqld[9619]: Feb 8 11:34:34 photon mysqld_safe[9621]: ended There shouldn't be anything running on port 3306 (there wasn't before the power outage). My guess is that there is something from the previous run of mysql that's in an indeterminant state - maybe a file that needs to be cleared or deleted. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no idea where to start on finding it. Would someone be so kind as to help? All help will be greatly appreciated. - ---Michael -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD6e3IjeziQOokQnARAu+mAJ4siupByeMHMhWQmO+8K1n67WslWgCaAjU/ QNpXeN3/paVlicOVFRW4paQ= =qnEs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
