Mysqld problem

2003-03-23 Thread Phil Dobbin
I'm having a problem starting the mysqld. I'm running 3.23.51 on Mac OS X
10.1.5 and have a startup script which confirms on boot that it has started
but doesn't.

I've tried starting manually from the CLI but no luck. I looked in
localhost.err and found:

030323  9:48:21  /usr/local/mysql-3.23.51/bin/mysqld: Can't create/write to
file '/usr/local/mysql-3.23.51/data/localhost.pid' (Errcode: 13)
030323  9:48:22  /usr/local/mysql-3.23.51/bin/mysqld: Can't find file:
'./mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13)
030323  9:48:22  /usr/local/mysql-3.23.51/bin/mysqld: Error on delete of
'/usr/local/mysql-3.23.51/data/localhost.pid' (Errcode: 13)
030323 09:48:22  mysqld ended

According to the O'Reilly `MySQL Reference Manual' it seems that the daemon
may have been damaged but offers no real clue as how to fix it.

One other very odd aspect is that on OS X you create a mysql user in Sys
Prefs and I noticed, upon reboot, that this user had disappeared from the
pref panel. I re-created but to no avail.

Any help at all on this would be gratefully appreciated.

Regards,

Phil.

 Hi Phil,
 
 first of all I don't think your mysqld is damaged. I would first check the
 following:
 
 - where does mysqld looks for its datadir?

 - does the user under which mysqld runs have write access to the datadir
 directory?
 - is the mysql database installed in the datadir directory?

Hi, Stefan.

All things mysql are in their correct place (this has only just happened and
I haven't changed anything in any directory pertaining to mysql).

I basically cannot get mysqld to start in any shape or form, either from its
system boot startup script or manually.

Phil.

 Hi Phil,
 
 ok, just to make sure your mysqld isn't damaged, what about replacing it
 with a new one (just binaries, not config and data)?

Sounds a good idea but I'm unsure how to go about it. Would you know the
best possible way?

Thanks for that. You've made my mind up (I've been thinking for a few hours

 I just checked your error code with:

 Error code  13:  Permission denied
 
 So it definitely looks like it's a permissions problem.
 
 Try using this command in the Terminal program:
 
 chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql-3.23.51/

Hi, Jeff.

Right on the money! mysqld is now running happily and I can get into my

but now I know the error code, I'll know what to look for if it happens
again.

Many thanks,

 my problem is the following:
 
 let's say i want to add the following user (just as a test):
 
 mysql grant all
   - on *
   - to test
   - with grant option;
 
 i do that and then i do a
 mysql use mysql;
 mysql SELECT * FROM user;
 
 the thing is, that all the permissions are still set to 'N'!! it won't
 accept the grant arguments. also after a mysqladmin reload!
 i also have phpMyAdmin 2.3.0 installed and if i change the user's
 permissions in there, it accepts them. then also the terminal will list them
 properly.
 
 why is this happening?

Just a guess (I haven't installed it yet) but I'm guessing it's probably a
10.2 problem.

Not really but have you considered using Marc Liyanage's binary installation of MySQL 
(in fact, I believe he also has a source install as well)?

You can find it at:

Many, many Mac OS X users (including myself) have used this and found it excellent and 
painless in the installation and use of.

Hope this helps,

Not really. Try looking in /usr/local/mysql/bin where on most *nixs the start-up

To modify it there is a file called /etc/rc.local (or rc.local). See if this has been

MySQL on Mac OS X

2002-05-12 Thread Phil Dobbin

I'm still trying to get MySQL running on Mac OS X and previously after installation 
when MySQL was running, I was getting 1045/6 errors and now, after a re-boot, MySQL is 
not running (I didn't add the start-up script because of the constant permissions 
errors I was getting).

When I try to enter mysql I get:

[localhost:~] phil% mysql -p
Enter password: 
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

Also when I try to start up (using ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql  ) I get:

20512 00:13:18  mysqld restarted
rm: /usr/local/mysql/data/localhost.pid: Permission denied
../bin/safe_mysqld: permission denied: /usr/local/mysql/data/localhost.err [235]
tee: /usr/local/mysql/data/localhost.err: Permission denied

ad infinitum (I eventually have to sudo kill -9 PID to stop it).

I've added a ~/.my.cnf file (per instructions in the MySQL manaul) but that makes no 
difference. Could someone advise me on which file I have to edit to enable start up 
and use of MySQL (huge_cnf?)?

Also, I'm using Marc Liyange's Entropy installation. Has anybody used his uninstall 
script and, if so, how safe was it (it looks like I may have to uninstall and start 
again)?

Regards,

Phil.

 Also, I'm using Marc Liyange's Entropy installation. Has anybody 
 used his uninstall script and, if so, how safe was it (it looks like 
 I may have to uninstall and start again)?
 
 Doesn't look like a configuration file problem, looks like a file 
 ownership
 problem.  The server needs to be able to access its files.  Try (as 
 root):
 
 # cd /usr/local
 # chown -R mysql mysql
 
 My guess is that the mysql hierarchy is owned by root, and that when 
 you
 specify --user=mysql to run the server, it can't write to root-owned
 directories.

I got finally got it started by doing:

su mysql
password xx
mysql% cd /usr/local/mysql
mysql% ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql

but now I get 1045 error messages when I try to access mysql whether as me or root:

[localhost:~] phil% mysqladmin reload
../bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'phil@localhost' (Using password: YES)'
[localhost:~] phil% mysqladmin -u root -p create database_name
Enter password: 
../bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)'
[localhost:~] phil% 

This is just a small selection of the error messages I'm getting. I've added a 
~/.my.cnf file but to no avail and studied the appropriate pages of the manual but I 
cannot connect to mysql.

Any further help appreciated (the original lines you suggested I used when I 
installed).

Regards,

Phil.

Well, I finally got in but now I get a 1044 error:

mysql create database CONTACT;

Any thoughts on this one? Basically I need to access the user tables but it will not 
let me any further than here.

MySQL on Mac OS X

2002-05-06 Thread Phil Dobbin

Hi.

I've just installed MySQL 3.23.49 on Mac OS X.1.4. The installation went fine (into 
/usr/local/) but now I'm having what I believe is a common permission problem. When 
trying to add a database I get the following error:

[localhost:~] phil% mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 12 to server version: 3.23.49-entropy.ch

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql create database CONTACT;
ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'CONTACT'
mysql

I couldn't find anything in the archives so I wondered, could somebody let me know the 
workaround I need to do on the permissions to get me started?

Any help appreciated.

Regards,

Phil.

 on my box the following helped:
 
 (su to root)
 chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/var  (check if this is the path to 
 your 
 mysql var )
 (exit root)
 
 that should do it.
 also check in the user and host table if a connection from localhost 
 is 
 allowed for the specific user..

Having looked, I have no /usr/local/mysql/var. The installation instructions (from 
Marc Liyanage's excellent website) were as follows (in part):

sudo chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/*

followed by: sudo ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql 

Also, how do I check the user/host table?

Thanks for your help,

Regards,

Phil.
