This is a mac os X installation problem: When I download/install the pkg version of mysql 4.0.13, two directories seem to be missing in /usr/local/bin/mysql: var/ and run/. So, when I try to run mysqld_safe (or safe_mysqld), I get errors like:
" touch: /usr/local/mysql/var/myhostname.err: No such file or directory Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/var... " followed by alot more errors which basically say, "you don't have a var/ directory or a run/ directory". Is this addressed anywhere in the manual? If I run "sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe", I get the "mysqld ended" error, and this is what my .err file says about it: " Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: No such file or directory 030605 10:59:08 Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /usr/local/mysql/run/mysql_socket ? 030605 10:59:08 Aborting " what's going on here, I've been trying to install this for 10 hours??? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
