Why does safe_mysqld runs as root?

By boot sequence Im guessing you mean my different run levels? rcX.d? Im guessing that I need to set the user value within the start-up script it self rather than my.cnf??? I thought my.cnf was the config file that the start-up scripts reference, by me setting a the attribute user=mysql under [mysqld], mysql should start under the user mysql?

I know you have to be tired of get-rich-quick promises. I know I am. It seems that the Internet is full of opportunities that promise you don't have to do anything in order to get everything you ever wanted. READ ON and discover. I was involved for 6 years in Network Marketing. Although I believe that MLM is a viable means of distribution and it can help people to fulfill their dreams, the sad fact is that 9 out of 10 people just will not make it work. That is not a guess folksthat is a fact based on 40 years of data. The truth is though that nobody knows who the 10% are that will make it. BUT... for me the odds were just too high against it. I just could not comfortably approach anyone anymore and offer them a network marketing opportunity. For me I knew in my heart that whoever I spoke to probably was not going to make it. I had to find another means of putting myself in a position to receive my dreams. HERE'S AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!! I could say it costs nothing -- not true. There is an investment. I could say you don't have to do anything -- again, not true. It does require some time, a computer, a phone, a willingness to listen, and some desire. It basically follows along the law which states that you get back what you give out. If you give a little you will get a little. If you give a lot.you get MORE than a lot back. I am in a position to help anyone in the United States or Canada who has the desire to change their lives, even if it is just a little change, and is willing to make a commitment. There is one key ingredient besides commitment--desire. How am I so sure I can help YOU if you have some desire and are willing to make a commitment?? : I and my associates have a marketing system which kicks the pants off anything I have seen in the last 10 years. We provide you with software alone which retails for well over $1200...but we GIVE it to you. (This is not a gimmick, we actually do give it to you for FREE) We market a product which everyone can benefit from. Now, that does not mean everyone wants it. :-), but most are open to it. That's all we really need. The product can be marketed over the internet or to your next door neighbor. We prefer the internet, but you always have an option. You do not have to approach your friends or relatives...EVER. With our system you will generate between 15 and 50 high-quality prospects every day without having to prospect. (I personally hate prospecting). We provide you with full one-on-one support and a 130-page tutorial to help make our job easier and yours too in getting started. You need no sales experience!! Our system is designed to attract those who are ready to get involved. What you really do is take calls and emails from those who need questions answered and who want to verify that this is for real. And...you support those who you help get started. (Sounds like MLM...right?..NOT) You are not alone in this at any time. This could change your life for the better as it has mine!!

RE: removing duplicate records
Vivian - Im just curious as to why I shouldnt trust group by? Is there a bug or something within Mysql regarding the group by clause? Walt - you could also create a compound primary key that consists of all columns, then create a unique constraint on the Primary key. I've used this many times in the past, and it works quite well. The only caveat is the SQL will puke when it tries to load the duplicate records into the table, I personally would use the DEDUP process of Insert/select with a group by... But you might want to see what Vivian's response is on the group by issue.

RE: Odd Question on automatic start of Mysql upon boot
The setup command, at the command prompt type setup this will bring up a configuration tool (Im running RH7.2), one of the choices is System Services, under that you can adjust services to start/stop automatically upon boot. This is done after an RPM install or installation upon OS install. This was how I automated the starting and stopping of the MYSQL service. As for the safe_mysqld concern, I was just wondering if there were any caveats to running mysql under safe_mysqld? Is this the normal process name that mysql runs under? I was expecting mysqld or mysql.server to be the process found when running the command ps -ef. I guess Im just reading into the safe_mysql naming convention. From what Im interpretting your statements below as is this: safe_mysql is the normal process that mysql runs under and there is no security issues with this process.

RE: Using Inner Join in MySQL
It depends on the size of the tables that you are joining together. Can you index any of the columns that you are joining? If you post the query that you are trying to execute I might be able to help you more.

RE: Cant start server after reboot - Please Help!
Just to clarify, I should always boot mysql using safe_mysqld, I thought this was used only for setting up your initial database and setting the root password. Most Documenation I found said to use it mysql.server as the start up process.. Thanks for the Help!!!

You should be using 'safe_mysqld ' (v3.2) or 'mysqld_safe ' for v4.0. Did you look at the hostname.err file to see what the problem was?

RE: Cant start server after reboot - Please Help!
Matt,
I tried this and still no cigar. The only difference that I could see was
that the mysql.server file location was different, i.e.
/usr/local/share/mysql/mysql.server, mine exists in
/usr/share/mysql/mysql.server. I altered the script to reflect this but
still the process does not start. Also I noticed that there was already a
mysqld script in /etc/rc.d/init.d, I renamed and then created yours.
Thoughts/Ideas?
Thanks for the help!
DK

Here's a small script to use for automaticly starting the mysqld demaon. Cut
and Past it into a file and call it mysqld then save it in the
/etc/rc.d/init.d directory. Upon reboot you should see that you mysql server
is up and running ( use ps -A as root and look for the mysqld pid's). As for
using mysqld start to start the server manualy won't work use safe_mysqld
.
#!/bin/sh
# description: mysql
# chkconfig: 2345 99 00
case $1 in
'start')
/usr/local/share/mysql/mysql.server start
touch /var/lock/subsys/mysqld
;;
'stop')
/usr/local/share/mysql/mysql.server stop
;;
*)
echo Usage: $0 { start | stop }
;;
esac
exit 0

RE: MySQL install on Linux 7.1
Are you using RPM or installing from source, i.e. running make? Also if you need to find where files are located change to root directy cd / then type find -name mysql that will get you started as to where your mysql files are located. The find command is very helpful when searching for files, its very similar to windows start menu search utility. Just make sure you change to the most parent directory to run the search, as find traverses from the Present Working Directory PWD forward. Also the best doc I have found is on the mysql.com site itself: http://www.mysql.com/doc/ You will find everything you need there... Good Luck and Welcome to Linux.

NEWBIE: Access Denied Errors after Rebooting
I was able to login and generate a database instance, but then got a little crazy and tried to automate the starting and stopping of the mysql service. I copied the mysql.server file to my /etc/init.d directory and then created the necessary links to the rc0.d and rc3.d directories. When I rebooted the mysql were not started, plus when I tried to manually start the services, trying both mysqld and mysql.server, I get an unable to located the mysql socket file. Can anyone explain to my what Im doing wrong here? Even though I didnt setup the automation piece correctly shouldnt I still be able to start the service manually? Also what is the difference between mysqld and mysql.server? Are they the same? Within the my.cnf I noticed the user assignment is equal to mysql, currently Im logging in as root, could the problem be that I need to generate a user called mysql? Sorry for the 20 questions, just trying help someone help me trouble shoot!

Victoria thanks for the response but I was able to solve my issue already.

Did you have installed MySQL server before or you run mysql_install_db after installation? mysql_install_db doesn't re-create grant tables if they exist. In this case use your old password. If you install MySQL at the first time user 'root' doesn't have a password.
