'safe_mysqld' blows, it hides information. Try running mysqld more directly. Step 1: edit safe_mysqld to make it tell you what it's trying to do. Edit the very first line to look like this: #!/bin/sh -x Step 2: re-run safe_mysqld, it will now dump out each command as it runs it. The last thing you see will be the full invokation of mysqld, with all the arguments and all of that. Step 3: run that actual invocation of mysqld, with all of it's arguments, without redirecting the output anywhere. This is, to say, avoid this at the end: >> $err_log 2>&1 Now, when mysqld pukes at you, you'll actually see error messages. -- Brian 'you Bastard' Reichert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 37 Crystal Ave. #303 Daytime number: (603) 434-6842 Derry NH 03038-1713 USA Intel architecture: the left-hand path --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
