I am trying to run the MySQL that comes with Red Hat Linux 7.3.
It is MySQL 3.23.49 for Red Hat Linux on i386. I can not get it to start and then stay
on.
>From root I type : /etc/init.d/mysqld start
I get :� Starting MySQL�� [OK]
then it immediately goes back to root:� [EMAIL PROTECTED] root] #
When I look in:� /var/lib/mysql/localhost.localdomain.err
I see:���������� /usr/libexec/mysqld : unrecognized option'--key_buffer=16M
I changed 'key_buffer' to 'key_buffer_size',
but then the err was 'unrecognized option'--key_buffer_size'
I have tried to reinstal mysql and mysql server
from the CD with the -U command, but this did not make
a difference.
Also, I have run the commands
:mysql_install_db�����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������
cd /usr����
������� /usr/bin/safe_mysqld
>From this I get :
[2] 272�����������������������������������������
[EMAIL PROTECTED] usr]# starting mysqld daemon with databases from
/var/lib/mysql�����������������������
040708��������� 17:13:59 mysqld ended
It then does not go to a # prompt, but seems to hang.
If I type anything and then return
it returns :� ERROR 2002 : Can't connect to local MySQLserver through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock (2)���������������
� [2-] - Done
I have consulted the manual as well as tried a lot of things, but no help.
I am new to this so please forgive it the answer is obvious.
