Hello All,
I've been trying upgrade our current MySQL 3.23.39 to the 3.23.40 I have tired
with both the binary distro and source distro with no luck. The install seems to
go OK, but I can't start the mysql server. This is on a RH/Linux 6.2 Kernel
2.4.6 i686 system.
The main problem seems to be, that our dedicated server comes with a WebHosting
Mgr browser interface and Cpanel for customers to use and the MySQL installation
is all tied into this. So it must be, for what I have been told, that we must
use the current settings to upgrade, which I did.
Datadir /var/lib/mysql
I tried with Mysql-Max binary install, but couldn't get the symbolic link to
work properly. I unpacked the tar in the /var/lib folder, then created the
symbolic link as it specifies to the mysql folder, still no luck.
I tried installing the source distro, with the ./configure
--prefix=/var/lib/mysql Everything seem to install OK, but when attempting to
start the mysql server, sometimes it looks for the mysql.sock in the
/var/lib/mysql folder, and sometimes it looks for it in the /tmp folder. I
copied the mysql.server to the /etc/rc.d/init.d folder chmoded it 500, create
the various symbolic links to the /etc/rc2.d and rc3.d, rc4.d as outlined. Then
if I do: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql stop or start it complains it can create or find
the .pid file which is suppose to be in the /var/lib/mysql folder. all the chown
settings are correct: chown mysql.root for the /var/lib/mysql folder
I have a feeling something from the current version is causing some problems and
screwing with the upgrade. If any one maybe able to shed some lite to what I
maybe doing work, it would be much appreciated. Our support/tech people are very
slow to responded to help and we need to have this installed in the next day and
require the transaction support with BDB tables.
THX's,
Mike(mickalo)Blezien
