latin1/utf-8 problem
I have a strange, irritating problem that I think is to do with MySQL. I have a table on a live (shared hosting) system that, when I use it on my local system, seems to wind up in utf-8 rather than latin1. Here's the set-up: Live system - MySQL 3.2.3.56, PHP 4.1.2, Apache 1.3.27. MySQL is configured to use latin1, PHP to no default charset. Local system - MySQL 4.0.18-32, PHP 4.3.4, Apache2 (all from SuSE 9.1 distro). MySQL is configured to use latin1, PHP to no default charset. I have a table containing text with French accented characters. On the live system, these display correctly when viewed with a browser set to iso-8859-1 encoding (which is what the page specifies). On the local system, the page has to be viewed as utf-8. Huh? This is the same data. I dumped the table from the live system (via phpMyAdmin - also set to use latin1) to my local disk. I viewed that with Kwrite which showed me that the text was, indeed, latin1 in that file. I uploaded the table to the local system. In MySQLcc (set to latin1) the text reads correctly. Running myisamchk on the table tells me it's latin1. And yet, if I mysqldump the table, the resulting file appears to be utf-8! And data pulled from the table by PHP also appears to be utf-8.

The | easiest way to do it is to add debugging messages to mysqld_safe script | (safe_mysqld in the older versions). Well, I found the problem - after several hours of anguish! Turned out to be something terribly simple. Having checked that all the data files weren't corrupted, by copying them to the MySQL datadir on my WinXP box and running them without problem there, I edited my.cnf to revert to the default datadir (/var/lib/mysql). That worked fine, using the old mysql table. I copied the data files to this directory, recreated the necessary users and found that the tables now worked - but not all of them. In any given database, some tables would work and others would complain about not being able to find the relevant MYD file - eg, tasks.MYD (note capitalisation). I had noticed that capitalisation early on, when mysqld was failing to run because it couldn't find hosts.MYD. I found that the file was actually spelled 'hosts.myd' so I renamed it with the extension capitalised - still didn't work. Same deal with all the other 'missing' MYD files. That's why I tried all kinds of other things, like changing file permissions with every combination I could think of. Finally, I noticed that the tables that didn't work were those I hadn't yet renamed with capitalised extensions. It *has* to be that, I thought. I renamed all the MYD files. Still the system complained about not finding them. Then I also capitalised the extensions of the MYI files and bingo... So, it turns out that my problem was an unhelpful error message -=sigh=-. But it does raise a question: I didn't change any of those files - files which had been working for months. I simply copied them to another extension and then copied them back again. Does anyone know if Linux ignores case when using FAT32 partitions? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Can't find host.MYD
I know this is a thorny old problem, but I'm having trouble resolving it. Here's the set-up. I'm running Linux. The MySQL data directory (as configured in my.cnf) is /share/mysql/data/ because I was sharing the data between Linux and Windows on a dual-boot system. This set-up has been working fine for months. Some time ago I stopped using and removed Windows. So today I decided that the /share partition should no longer be FAT32. I backup-up everything on it (just simply copied the files to another partition) reformatted as ext3 and copied everything back. Now mysqld won't keep running - ie, it starts up then immediately shuts down again - and I found a message in the mysqld.log file saying: 040508 11:10:24 mysqld started 040508 11:10:24 /usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't find file: 'host.MYD' (errno: 2) 040508 11:10:24 mysqld ended But, the file host.MYD is definitely in the /share/mysql/data/mysql/ directory, although it appears to be 0 bytes (?). I figured this might be a file permissions error, so I've tried changing the owner for all the mysql files to 'mysql' (group is currently 'root') and permissions are 755. This hasn't solved the problem. Any ideas would be most welcome. @+ Steve -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Linux install problem
I'll bet you didn't run mysql_install_db with the --user=mysql option. chown -R mysql.mysql /var/lib/mysql should do the trick. That's right, because I didn't see anything to that effect in the manual, although the manual is a little confusing at this point. Following another post (not in response to mine) I did a chmod on the mysql dir and its contents and that seemed to do the trick. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Dual boot system
I have MySQL installed on a WinXP box, on drive C. Recently, I've installed Linux on the same machine - dual boot, as one does. Linux is sitting on a second HD on which I created a windows partition, seen to Linux as /share and to Windows as D:, in order to share data between the two systems. It is possible to move the current data being used by the Windows MySQL to the D: partition and make this usable by MySQL regardless of what operating system I'm using? I've started looking through the manual, but it's a big manual and I'd appreciate some pointers. I assume both installations of MySQL will have to be configured to look on /share AKA D: for data. So, any tips would be appreciated... a+ Steve
RE: Dual boot system
I don't see why it should be a problem. Data files are binary compatible between OS's, and by definition, one instance of mysqld will be shut down while the other operates on the data. Of course copying rather than moving is always a good recommendation until you're sure that everything works as expected. Especially if you are using InnoDB, you'll want to make sure that you have the config files exactly right on both OSs. - Rich Well, I managed to sort it myself after all - much easier than I thought. I made a copy of all my datafiles to D:/mysql/data. In the my.ini file on Windows I set: datadir = D:/mysql/data In the my.cnf file on Linux I set: datadir = /share/mysql/data (or something like that - running WinXP at the mo' so can't check). And that was it! And I thought computing was difficult. The next challenge is getting Apache MySQL to start up at boot time in Linux. The manual talks about /etc/rc.d but SuSE uses /etc/init.d and a bunch of sub-directories for different run levels, all of which is making my head spin right now. But I'll get there... -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Linux install problem
Having run MySQL successfully for a while in a WAMP environment, I'm trying to set up on Linux now (and am a real Linux newbie). I'm using the 4.3.1 version that came as an RPM with SuSE 8.2. The problem is - it doesn't work. Here's where the various elements have installed to: /usr/bin various mysql progs scripts, incl mysql mysqladmin mysql_install_db safe_mysqld etc /usr/sbin mysqld /var/lib/mysql mysql.sock mysql.log linux-bin.001 etc when I run mysql_install_db (in /usr/bin), it creates the 'mysql' dir in var/lib/mysql - so the path to the default database files becomes: /var/lib/mysql/mysql/ From /usr/bin, I run: safe_mysqld --user=mysql and get the message Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql but then the daemon shuts down straight away. When I look in the log file, I find: /usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13) It looks as though the mysql_install_db has put the files in the wrong place. Can anyone give me some advice as to how I sort this out...? Thanks. Steve
