Re: MySQL not starting at boot-Fedora Core 3
Hello. Are you able to start MySQL server by this command? service mysqld start I think you should put the correct values for the basedir, datadir, PATH variables at the beginning of the /etc/init.d/mysql file.

As you previously reported that ./mysqld_safe works if you are in mysql's bin directory, we know that mysqld_safe is executable. Hence, when mysql.server tries to run ./bin/mysqld_safe, it must not be in the right directory. That is, it has the wrong value for $basedir. Perhaps you installed mysql somewhere other than the standard location? Nope, it is located here, /usr/local/mysql. You could edit mysql.server to add an "echo $basedir" right before the cd, then run it by hand to you can see where the script thinks it should go. The fix will probably involve setting the basedir in /etc/my.cnf to the correct value. Yes, I went and looked at the script, to see if something was wrong. I couldn't see anything out of order, although, I'm a novice at scripts(programming). If that's not enough to get you going in the right direction, write back and let us know. Hopefully it'll get me going. Cheers. Michael Mark Sargent. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

MySQL not starting at boot-Fedora Core 3
Hi All, attempting another mysql install, on a 3rd machine. Extracted the tar.gz file to /usr/local/mysql. Followed the install docs here, http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/installing-binary.html and successfully ran the MySql grant tables script, 6. If you haven't installed MySQL before, you must create the MySQL grant tables: shell> scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql I then followed here, http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/automatic-start.html to a T, and copied mysql.server to /etc/init.d, and just for good measure, gave it permission to execute, chmod +x /etc/init.d/mysql I then rebooted, to see how things would go at boot, and saw a failed message for mysqld_safe, Apr 16 21:20:01 localhost lsb_log_message: Can't execute ./bin/mysqld_safe failed Can anyone explain why it wouldn't start..? Anything I should be looking for..? I can start the server with ./mysqld_safe from within the bin dir and I can connect as root or mysql. Cheers. /etc/init.dmysql permissions [EMAIL PROTECTED] init.d]# ls -lh mysql -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6.2K Apr 16 21:11 mysql Mark Sargent. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
