I recently installed 3.23.52 on a server and everything went fine throughout the configuration and install. The server started fine and has been running flawlessly for the past 3 months. However, I needed to reboot the system this morning and MySQL wouldn't start back up. I have tried using both ./safe_mysqld and ./mysqld without any reults. The installation directory is /usr/local/mysql-3.23.52-pc-linux-gnu-i686 and /usr/local/mysql is a link to the installation directory. Here's what I'm getting:
from /usr/local/mysql/bin [ed@home bin]$ ./safe_mysqld --user=mysql & The file /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld doesn't exist or is not executable Please do a cd to the mysql installation directory and restart this script from there as follows: ./bin/safe_mysqld. -or- [ed@home bin]$ ./mysqld 021023 7:27:08 Warning: setrlimit couldn't increase number of open files to mo re than 256 021023 7:27:08 Warning: Changed limits: max_connections: 100 table_cache: 73 ./mysqld: Can't change dir to '/usr/local/mysql-3.23.52-pc-linux-gnu-i686/var/' (Errcode: 2) 021023 7:27:08 Aborting 021023 7:27:08 ./mysqld: Shutdown Complete The ./safe_mysqld --user=mysql & command is exactly the same command I used to start the server after initial installation as per the documentation. I can't understand why it's not starting up. I've tried running the command both as myself and root without any luck. Any ideas?
