Hi, I am running mysql 5.0.45 on freebsd 4.11 and for some strange reason /tmp/mysql.sock keeps on disappearing and we are forced to kill -9 mysql and restart it causing db corruptions as there is no other way of telling it to stop once that file has gone. I have tried to find any reason why this happens and there are no errors, no core files, nothing - the file just disappears.
Here is the error when trying to login: # mysql -p cache Enter password: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (61) Here is my my.cnf file: [client] port = 3306 socket = /tmp/mysql.sock [mysqld] port = 3306 socket = /tmp/mysql.sock skip-locking key_buffer = 16M max_allowed_packet = 1M table_cache = 64 sort_buffer_size = 512K net_buffer_length = 8K read_buffer_size = 256K read_rnd_buffer_size = 512K myisam_sort_buffer_size = 8M #log-bin server-id = 1 # Uncomment the following if you are using BDB tables #bdb_cache_size = 4M #bdb_max_lock = 10000 # Uncomment the following if you are using InnoDB tables #innodb_data_home_dir = /var/db/mysql/ #innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend #innodb_log_group_home_dir = /var/db/mysql/ #innodb_log_arch_dir = /var/db/mysql/ # You can set .._buffer_pool_size up to 50 - 80 % # of RAM but beware of setting memory usage too high #innodb_buffer_pool_size = 16M #innodb_additional_mem_pool_size = 2M # Set .._log_file_size to 25 % of buffer pool size #innodb_log_file_size = 5M #innodb_log_buffer_size = 8M #innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1 #innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 50 [mysqldump] quick max_allowed_packet = 16M [mysql] no-auto-rehash [isamchk] key_buffer = 20M sort_buffer_size = 20M read_buffer = 2M write_buffer = 2M [myisamchk] key_buffer = 20M sort_buffer_size = 20M read_buffer = 2M write_buffer = 2M [mysqlhotcopy] interactive-timeout The machine in question is a dual xeon with 4gig of ram. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Ian
