Hey,
I would file a bug via mysql_bug but for my fear of emacs, so i am going to
attempt to provide as much info here in the hope you don't request a
./mysql_bug report. :)
I am trying to install mysql on a client's box, it's latest stable version
(mysql-3.23.47), and "installed" to /usr/local/mysql.
However, when i try and start the safe_mysqld daemon, as suggested, i get
the following:
[root@ns mysql]# bin/safe_mysqld &
[2] 12268
[root@ns mysql]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
020110 20:00:07 mysqld ended
[2]- Done safe_mysqld
/var/lib/mysql doesn't exist.
Finally, when trying to use the scripts/mysql_install_db script, it creates
the relevant directories, yet fails to create the relevant table files. I
feel that it is to do with the above, but i'm not sure.
I don't know what has happened in the past, except to note that there were
mysql binaries and data scattered all over the file system.
Any help would be appreciated in discerning what the problem is!
Regards, and thanks,
