Hi, I was appending Grant previledges to some databases in mysql; either i typed something wrong or there is a bug which I am uncertain about, but what happened was I could not login as su anymore. I then solved this problem by changing grp (chgrp) permission in /bin/su and it works fine. However I could not connect to mysql again
When I start mysql I get the following error $ mysql ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) I could not start nor stop any running mysql I tried to reboot my system hoping that the process will terminate and restart fresh but during shutdown I see the message that mysql shutdown failed. Upon booting again I could not start mysql Even though it shows the file here [EMAIL PROTECTED] locate mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock the cat of my.cnf is $ cat my.cnf [mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock # Default to using old password format for compatibility with old and # shorter password hash. # Reference: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Password_hashing.html old_passwords=1 [mysql.server] user=mysql basedir=/var/lib [mysqld_safe] err-log=/var/log/mysqld/mysqld.log pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid Also I tried to kill mysql by using PID ie kill -9 'PID' but each time the PID changes when i do ps -ax|grep mysql and it fails to kill mysql. Can some Mysql messiah help me solve this problem. Thank you in advance - ash# PS: I guessed it was quite a common error but when searched through the list it retrived me null post, hence I am posting this. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
