Hello all, Some of you may recognize this post somewhat, I've asked about this problem before:
I am unable to execute the "shutdown" command with mysqladmin, running on Darwin 1.4.1 (from Mac OS X 10.1.0). Originally, I had compiled MySQL 3.23.44 from source code, specifying the following options during ./configure : --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --with-unix-socket-path=/usr/local/mysql/run/mysql_socket --with-mysqld-user=mysql --with-comment --with-debug And I started the daemon with bin/safe_mysqld --socket=/usr/local/mysql/run/mysql_socket & Everything worked great, but when I tried to use mysqladm@localhost$ mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown I would end up just "hanging" there. Eventually, the only way I could take down the daemon was with a kill -9 (regular "kill" wouldn't work). I posted to this list about my problem a few times, and discussed some possibilities with some others on this list (thanks everyone who had input). Some suggested trying a recompile without the "--with-debug" option, which I did. The exact same problem persisted. So then I used root@localhost# rm -R /usr/local/mysql and proceeded to download the binary from my local mirror. The binary for Darwin is a hair older than the source code I had tried, mysql-3.23.43-apple-darwin . I put the tarball into /usr/local and extracted it, then went about the usual permissions-changing and ran scripts/mysql_install_db . Everything was good to go. I started the daemon with bin/safe_mysqld & (no specifying the socket this time because it was in the default location, wherever that is.) Started up great, no problems. So I decided to test the shutdown command again. I executed the exact same command: mysqladm@localhost$ bin/mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown and once again, after entering the password, it just hung. Just like with my source install, I had to use a kill -9 to get the daemon to shut down. I'm really excited about working with MySQL, I just need to get it up and running! Well, that's not actually the problem, but I need to be able to shut it down. This is being run on my G3 "bronze" laptop with OS X 10.1 / Darwin 1.4.1 . I'm very surprised that the binary didn't work correctly, since according to mysql.com, it has been configured with the best options for my platform. Does anyone have any advice? Suggestions? Input? Help? I really appreciate anyting anyone can add to this situation. Thanks in advance, Erik PS: if you respond directly to the list, please CC me as I am a "digester" and won't get your response until the digest comes out... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
