Having done some further work (I re-built using 3.23.51) I have managed to have the server startup and run, however I am still experiencing the :
020814 15:25:48 /usr/local/mysql-3.23.51/libexec/mysqld: Can't create/write to file '/usr/local/mysql-3.23.51/var/host.domain.pid' (Errcode: 13) Which is v. confusing..... the daemon is running and works fine ... just no PID file (so the automated shutdown script won't work etc). Getting there (slowly) Regards, Mark -----Original Message----- From: Mark Gillett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2002 5:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: problem starting mysqld on Solaris 2.8 (source distribution) Hi All (Gerald), Not sure why that should make a difference as the daemon is trying (it claims) to write to /usr/local/mysql/var. Have updated the privs : from ls -al /usr/local/mysql/var total 32 drw-rw-rw- 4 mysql mysql 512 Aug 14 11:27 . drwxr-xr-x 12 mysql mysql 512 Aug 14 10:12 .. -rw-rw-rw- 1 mysql mysql 4908 Aug 14 11:01 midguard-bin.001 -rw-rw-rw- 1 mysql mysql 19 Aug 14 11:01 midguard-bin.index -rw-rw-rw- 1 mysql other 5369 Aug 14 15:25 midguard.sthelier.err drw-rw-rw- 2 mysql mysql 512 Aug 14 11:01 mysql drw-rw-rw- 2 mysql mysql 512 Aug 14 11:01 test and still have the same problem : 020814 15:25:48 mysqld started 020814 15:25:48 /usr/local/mysql-3.23.49/libexec/mysqld: Can't create/write to file '/usr/local/mysql-3.23.49/var/host.domain.pid' (Errcode: 13) 020814 15:25:48 /usr/local/mysql-3.23.49/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13) 020814 15:25:48 /usr/local/mysql-3.23.49/libexec/mysqld: Error on delete of '/usr/local/mysql-3.23.49/var/host.domain.pid' (Errcode: 13) 020814 15:25:48 mysqld ended Good thought though ! Any other ideas ?
