version: 3.23.37 running on an RAQ Problem: I can not log into MySql as root - it hangs after I give it a password. Background: MySql was running fine for a year and then just stopped running.
Symptoms: 1) Mysqld is running when I reboot the server but can't be shut down (/usr/share/mysql/mysql.server stop) and keeps timing out. 2) When it's running there is a .sock file 3) If I try to log in as any valid user, it simply waits indefinitely. 4) Suspecting that something is wrong with the mysql database, I ran a check on it: myisamchk -f *.MYI and myisamchk -r *.MYI Every time I run the -r it states it's repairing indexes. In any event: I know I should probably upgrade the version but it was a "package" that was suggested by sun at the time and I know I could download the binary but ... I want to make sure I understand what the problem is and know that I will be able to fix it by upgrading. Can someone explain what is going on? Will upgrading fix this problem, etc.?
