Wondering if anyone can shed some light on a problem I am experiencing. I am running MySQL 4.1 on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 2) machine.
I have been trying to get the default /etc/init.d/mysqld script to restart the server but I keep running into the same problems. The MySQL server itself is running at the moment and has a number of live databases on it. 060209 18:40:43 mysqld started 060209 18:40:43 [Warning] Can't create test file /var/lib/mysql/thirdeye.lower-test /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't change dir to '/var/lib/mysql/' (Errcode: 13) 060209 18:40:43 [ERROR] Aborting 060209 18:40:43 [Note] /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown complete 060209 18:40:43 mysqld ended I can't see where the thirdeye.lower-test file creation is coming into this at all. Since as far as can see the startup script doesn't seem to call any script to create test databases. Is this part of mysqld_safe? I can also see that /var/lib/mysql is already owned by mysql.mysql with 755 permissions. Indeed the RedHat startup script makes this so. Therefore the permissions error seems extremely odd as they seem fine to me. I can start the server using the following directly on the command line, which is what the startup script ultimately runs anyway. /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf --pid-file= /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid > /dev/null 2>&1 & Can anyone give me something further to go on?
