Dyna III electronic ignition install questions R80/7

[Don Dachner]

Anyone have experience with installing the Dyna III electronic ignition? 
 
I put it on my R80/7, but since it wasn't running before I did the install, and it's 
not running now, I'm not sure if I installed it correctly or not. 
 
But, after I did the install, I tried to do the static timing as per the instructions 
that came with it, and i can't get the test light to come on at all which says 
something, I think. 
 
Any help appreciated.
 
Thanks,
 
Don
 

General log file in v3.23.52

[Don Dachner]

How do I turn on the General log file in version 3.23.52? Can I put an entry in the 
my.cnf file and reboot?
 
Thanks,
 
Don
 

Lost connection to MySQL server during query

[Don Dachner]

MySQL Version 3.23.52 on Red Hat Linux
 
Trying to establish an ODBC connection to the MySQL server from a windows 2000 server 
and get the error:
 
MySQL ODBC Driver ver 03.51.06
Lost Connection to MySQL server during query
 
On the MySQL server, there is only one my.cnf and it has no reference to a port so I'm 
figuring it's using the default 3306.
 
I can ping the server.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks,
Don
 

If() syntax question

[Don Dachner]

Is it possible to do something like this?
 
If(select * from xxx, if record found..update it, if record not found ..insert it)
 
Thanks,

XFS or ReiserFS?

[Don Dachner]

Which filesystem is better for a MySQL server? I can't see the difference between 
them. 
 
All I need is a LFS that will handle a MyISAM table above the 4GB size level.
 
Running Linux 2.4 (or can install the latest ver if necessary) on 32 bit Intel 
platform.
 
My Linux books says XFS is the leader in supporting Access Control Lists...is that a 
consideration for a MySQL server?
 
Thanks,
 
Don
 
 

Re: AW: command not found: trying to start mysql

[Don Dachner]

I ran ./bin/safe_mysqld 

and got: 

[1] 3328

root # Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data

and the cursor hangs on the next line down ...

thanks,

don

 

Try ls to see whether safe_mysqld is in the directory and the run:

Safe_mysqld 

Note! You have to be root to run the mysqld demon

[Don Dachner]

Ok, that worked. Thanks.
 
I guess now my only question is is there something wrong with my environment since I 
have to type:
 
./bin/mysql -u root 
 
instead of 
 
mysql -u root?
 
Thanks,
Don

Your shell printed root #.  safe_mysqld (running in the background)
printed the Starting... messages, followed by a newline.  That puts
the cursor on the next line.

But your shell is still waiting for a new command.  Just type it in.
Or hit Enter a few times to see that the shell is waiting for input.

I don't know about wrong, but that's certainly less convenient than it
needs to be.

Add the directory that contains the MySQL client programs to your PATH
variable. If you're not sure how to do that, read this:

Thanks,

command not found: trying to start mysql

[Don Dachner]

binary 4.1 on Linux.
 
to start mysql, i have to be in: /usr/local/mysql 
and execute:
 
./bin/mysql -u root mysql
 
If i'm in another directory, I get command not found: trying to start mysql. Seems 
to me this is a PATH issue.
 
I had binary 4.0 working here at one time, but I'm delete most if not all of those 
files.
