>Description: <I've never installed MySql before and I am having a little trouble with the installation procedure. I have installed the binaries as described in the manual for installation and I am able to start mysql through $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? Then I go to connect to the server (locally) by entering in a mysqladmin command to check the version and the output is below: bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists! It does not seem like the deamon is running at all when I go to check (ps -aux | grep mysql). Any ideas. I am a little new to MySql. Note: I have tried the latest version of MySQL and still get the same problems but on a diff computer running the same OS (Linux RH 9.0)> >Fix: <how to correct or work around the problem, if known (multiple lines)> >Submitter-Id: <submitter ID> >Originator: Chris Moy >Organization: <organization of PR author (multiple lines)> >MySQL support: [none] >Synopsis: <synopsis of the problem (one line)> >Severity: <non-critical> >Priority: <medium> >Category: mysql >Class: <support> >Release: mysql-3.23.54 (Source distribution) >Environment: <Linux Redhat 9.0> System: Linux bioserver 2.4.20-18.9 #1 Thu May 29 07:08:16 EDT 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Architecture: i686 Some paths: /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/gmake /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc GCC: Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/specs Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --host=i386-redhat-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5) Compilation info: CC='i386-redhat-linux-gcc' CFLAGS='-O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -g -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE' CXX='i386-redhat-linux-g++' CXXFLAGS='-O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -g -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions' LDFLAGS='' LIBC: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 May 27 07:49 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.3.2.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1549556 Mar 13 19:43 /lib/libc-2.3.2.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2321376 Mar 13 18:35 /usr/lib/libc.a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 204 Mar 13 17:58 /usr/lib/libc.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 May 27 08:36 /usr/lib/libc-client.a -> c-client.a Configure command: ./configure '--host=i386-redhat-linux' '--build=i386-redhat-linux' '--target=i386-redhat-linux-gnu' '--program-prefix=' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--sbindir=/usr/sbin' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--libdir=/usr/lib' '--libexecdir=/usr/libexec' '--localstatedir=/var' '--sharedstatedir=/usr/com' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--without-readline' '--without-debug' '--enable-shared' '--with-extra-charsets=complex' '--with-bench' '--localstatedir=/var/lib/mysql' '--with-unix-socket-path=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' '--with-mysqld-user=mysql' '--with-extra-charsets=all' '--with-innodb' '--enable-local-infile' '--enable-large-files=yes' '--enable-largefile=yes' '--with-berkeley-db-includes=/usr/include' '--with-berkeley-db-libs=/usr/lib' '--enable-thread-safe-client' 'CFLAGS=-O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -g -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE' 'CXXFLAGS=-O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -g -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions' 'build_alias=i386-redhat-linux' 'host_alias=i386-redhat-linux' 'target_alias=i386-redhat-linux-gnu' -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
