Hi folks, Installed Fedora Core 2 with mysql and then removed the mysql packages via the gui widget. Then installed mysql 4 from scratch. Created a symlink, mysql. added the user 'mysql'. chown'd etc the /usr/local/mysql stuff.
the command (as root) /usr/local/mysql# bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql & produces the message Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 040715 16:43:07 mysqld ended I've reproduced this several times. I've searched the archives here and have tried the following things: 0. Rebooted from scratch (yeah, old habits die hard). 1. I open up the services widget in the FC gui. There is no mysqld service even listed in the list. 2. There is no (hostname).err file in /usr/local/mysql/data 3. The /var/log/mysqld.log file says mysqld started Warning: asked for... Can't start server: bind on unix socket - permission denied Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock? Aborting 4. But I don't have any /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock file at all. So now I'm stuck. It looks like mysqld is still confused about the old install or is looking for a phantom mysql.sock but I'll be durned if I can find it. -- Whil -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
