$mysqld_safe --user mysql & [EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 030812 13:24:04 mysqld ended
but you can see that the deamon has "ended" right away. This should not happen, correct?
look in the err-file. It's named laptop.err and lies in the data directory. /usr/local/mysql/data
Did you enable innodb in /etc/my.cnf ? If yes, did you create it's data-folder ? Check if the user mysql can read/write there.
* IMPORTANT * Don't use a file-manager like mc on the shell where you start mysql. It will look exactly like that if you run ./bin/mysqld_safe & from within mc though ./bin/mysqld_safe will work nut block the shell.
Plain bash is fine.
Then I go to connect to the server (locally) by entering in a mysqladmin command to check the version and the output is below:
... mysql ended
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)'
While we are at it.
Some distributions put this socket elsewhere.
SuSE has it's mysql package compiled to store data and socket in /var/lib/mysql. All client programs that came with the distribution will expect the stuff there.
You have to symlink the socket to /var/lib/mysql to get the libraries working.
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr
> '--bindir=/usr/bin'
There you are ... RedHat's bin-directory is /usr/bin not /usr/local/mysql/bin
'--datadir=/usr/share'and default data folder
and socket'--localstatedir=/var/lib/mysql' '--with-unix-socket-path=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'
