My main problem is that I am unable to run the mysql_install_db file. Below is what I have tried:
I can start mysql by using the folowing option: shell> BINDIR/safe_mysqld --skip-grant-tables & shell> BINDIR/mysql -u root mysql However, when start mysql and try to perform anything, it errors our with the following: ERROR 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query Here is the entry for the Alpha.err file:: << Alpha.err >> 021105 12:41:27 mysqld started /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections mysqld got signal 11; This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary or one of the libraries it was linked agaist is corrupt, improperly built, or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware. We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong and this may fail key_buffer_size=16773120 record_buffer=131072 sort_buffer=524280 max_used_connections=0 max_connections=100 threads_connected=1 It is possible that mysqld could use up to key_buffer_size + (record_buffer + sort_buffer)*max_connections = 80379 K bytes of memory Hope that's ok, if not, decrease some variables in the equation Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went terribly wrong... Stack range sanity check OK, backtrace follows: 0x808478e 0x8131730 0x814ab5d 0x8151a53 0x807e657 0x8081a81 0x8098326 0x808767a 0x8086b8d Stack trace seems successful - bottom reached Please read http://www.mysql.com/doc/U/s/Using_stack_trace.html and follow instructions on how to resolve the stack trace. Resolved stack trace is much more helpful in diagnosing the problem, so please do resolve it Trying to get some variables. Some pointers may be invalid and cause the dump to abort... thd->query at 0x8254e88 = ls exit thd->thread_id=3 Successfully dumped variables, if you ran with --log, take a look at the details of what thread 3 did to cause the crash. In some cases of really bad corruption, the values shown above may be invalid The manual page at http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/r/Crashing.html contains information that should help you find out what is causing the crash 021105 13:36:17 mysqld ended <<// Alpha.err >> Here is the report genereted by mysqlbug << mysqlbug >> SEND-PR: -*- send-pr -*- SEND-PR: Lines starting with `SEND-PR' will be removed automatically, as SEND-PR: will all comments (text enclosed in `<' and `>').
