Greetings Mysql has not been used on my server before, and I am the only user who has ssh access to the system, (any mysqld processes are mine) and have been trying to get mysql set up and working properly.
Currenlty I have two mysqld processes idle on my system 5404 p2- I 0:00.00 (mysqld) 15488 p4- I 0:00.00 (mysqld) I have tried to end these (kill -s HUP 5404 / kill -s HUP 15488) - but this does not have any affect. I have tried to start the mysql server (currently it's not running | ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server ), using the safe_mysqld& command - with this result... [1] 19882 user_obscured:/# Starting mysqld demon with databases from /usr/local/var nohup /nfs/usr/libexec/mysqld --basedir=/usr/local --datadir=/usr/local/var --port =30100 & mysqld demon ended (enter) [1]+ Done safe_mysqld and mysql does not restart. Can anyone explain what may be going on here? How can I clear the mysqld processes, and restart mysql so that I can use it?
