If you are using a myisam type which is default that log message isn't a problem. By switching to run level 5 does it work again? I switch between run levels on a regular basis so it shouldn't be the runlevel itself. Did you add or remove any files from the rc3.d folder manually?

What I did is I told X not to start on boot, so I went into /etc/inittab and told it to run at run level 3...thats when mysql stopped all together. When I put it back to 5, mysql was running again, but in the boot up sequence it says it timed out while starting...heres the output from the command you mentioned: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# service mysqld restart Stopping MySQL: [ OK ] Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon. Starting MySQL: [FAILED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# Heres a quote from the log: 040104 16:11:05 mysqld started Cannot initialize InnoDB as 'innodb_data_file_path' is not set. If you do not want to use transactional InnoDB tables, add a line skip-innodb to the [mysqld] section of init parameters in your my.cnf or my.ini. If you want to use InnoDB tables, add to the [mysqld] section, for example, innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend But to get good performance you should adjust for your hardware the InnoDB startup options listed in section 2 at http://www.innodb.com/ibman.html /usr/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections 040104 16:12:06 /usr/libexec/mysqld: Normal shutdown 040104 16:12:06 /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown Complete 040104 16:12:06 mysqld ended 040104 16:16:04 mysqld started I have done just what the log says and it still fails.

Is this RH? If it is run.. #>service mysqld restart and see what messages you get if any and also check /var/log/mysqld.log and see what messages it is giving. If it shows it started correctly, connect from the command line before doing anything with phpBB and make sure you can get around. Otherwise you won't be able to tell if the problem is from phpBB or from mysqld. -----Original Message----- From: Don Matlock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 04, 2004 7:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MYsql wont start Hi all, I was able to get mysql up and running and installed phpBB to boot. Upons reboot I noticed that the mysql daemon was timing out...when I log into it this is the error I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mysql -u root -p Enter password: ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# (p.s. x's are me hiding my ip address) Any thoughts?
