Database thrash/load spikes under RedHat 7.1

2002-03-22 Thread Christopher Manly

Hi,

We just moved our operation to a new hosting company, and in the 
process went from an old version of Slackware linux running MySQL 
3.22.xx to systems running RedHat 7.1 and MySQL 3.23.37.

When I do a large LOAD DATA INFILE or something else that puts a 
tidbit of strain on the database, all of a sudden mysql spins out of 
control, with connections piling up and the load meter spiking, until 
we hit the connection limit and then things start to calm back down. 
But it means that our website is more or less unavailable for 15 
minutes or so.

The database is running on its own server, a 1GHz machine with 1 GB 
of RAM.  The disk is SCSI RAID 5. I've tried cranking up the various 
tuning parameters, based on the my-huge.cnf that comes with the 
source distribution.  The binary we're running on is the one that 
comes with the system.  I've already tried --memlock, as I've seen 
reports of the 2.4 linux kernel causing problems when it gets overly 
agressive about swapping things out.

I've also managed to make my RH 7.2 box do this on a smaller scale, 
running the latest binary RPM from MySQL.

Am I missing something obvious?  99% of the time the server is 
completely bored.  Given that we've doubled our RAM and doubled our 
processor speed on the same size database, there's no reason the 
server should be running out of gas.

Re: RedHat 7.1 refuses to open mysqld]

2001-09-25 Thread jim barchuk

HiHi!

   I upgraded from RedHat7.0 to 7.1. Now when I start safe_mysqld it says it 
starts mysql with
  databases from /var/lib/mysql, but it can't start completelety as it says 
it refers to
 /var/mysql/mysql.sock, which does not exist. Please help. /var/mys

It's probably in /tmp, which you should change anyway.

Ed,

Thanks for the email. I was a bit tired last night and was a little frustrated (4 
nights getting nowhere), so apologies if I was little rude (I've just reread my email) 
and
sarcastic, but thanks for the 'Details' pun. I've dug myself into a hole offering to 
set up a Linux/Apache Webserver for a friend. There's no rush but wanted to use it as a
learning experience and am getting problems with mysql- everything else seems ok.

Yes, thanks for the pun. It was the above /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock and I noted that 
deleting it and then running mysql_install_db  or possible safe_mysqld recreated.  

 I've deleted it and running something above has brought it back again!- this
 is good I think

Bad idea.

Slightly sarcastic- sorry

 1. Can i found out if the server is or is not running -which command and
 what am I looking for?

mysqladmin status

As I remember and I'm not sure I was going round in circles- this was a call giving 
the error- I've just read somewhere to  check that this is installed, so will do that
tonight

 2. Can I stop the mysql server

mysqladmin shutdown  

Again an error on that one

 3. Can I start it?

safe_mysqld

Yep it does produces a lot of information and then ends (I think- you see I'm not sure)

Where is mysql.sock?  In /tmp?  If so:
ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

mysql.sock  is in the directory that the error produces i.e.
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Should get you going.

This, in my ignorance, looks like a soft link to the mysql.sock in the 
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
location. The file(?) does exist and I'm not sure why a softlink will help unless it's 
something to do with permissions.
Thanks for your suggestions I'll give them a try.

Jason

PHP is configured with --without-mysql flag to not be compiled in main 
PHP. And after that is compiled only mysql module of PHP.
You can see php-4...rpm and php-mysql-4...rpm.
Is more easy to see if you will look in spec file.

Re: The Mysql socket thing using Redhat 7.1

2001-09-05 Thread Jason Bailey

Ed,

Once again, thanks for the email response. I'm going to try all the suggestions I've 
received. 

A colleague has suggested as I'm new to Linux to select the 'Install Everything' 
option in red hat 7.1. He suggests that it's probably easier (for me) to get everything
installed and work backward (uninstall the unnecessary) as I learn more.   

If the server is creating mysql.sock in  and something else is looking for it in 
/tmp, this is the easiest way to get it to
work, besides checking to make sure
that the permissions are such that anyone who needs to can read and write to 
mysql.sock. --

I think this may be my problem in that I couldn't understand whether   mysql.sock 
should be located in /var/lib/mysql but is required to be in /tmp. It certainly 
appears in
/var/lib/mysql  
I'll try your suggestion for this and check permissions.



 Well, it wasn't a pun :)  Details are critically important, especially when you work

-

My mistake about the Pun. I do agree details are important; I will use mysqlbug next 
time, if I get no joy. I'd found several, if not more, postings from several people 
with
the same type of question, regarding the error I was getting. I'd assumed that this 
common problem was well understood and didn't require explicit detail from myself. 

 you ran something and something happened, but you weren't quite sure what. It's 
much more difficult when people have to guess what you did.  I'm not trying to flame 
you
 at all - but you will probably be able to get a lot more, and a lot higher quality,

I would'nt blame you for flaming my first email was a little rude. The detail I will 
try for next time.

you delete it, you will not be able to connect locally.

I'd been sarcastic and was apologising. I realised it was a bad idea but was getting 
frustrated and wanted to see if it would be recreated as a test if I was running the
server at all. On deleting it I was finding that it was being recreated when running 
something.

Something- I wasn't sure about at the time either mysql_install_db or safe_mysqld  - 
still not sure but will check tonight when I get home.

As written before, it is a permissions problem - mysql_install_db
(unnecesarry , don't run it - just run service mysqld start ) will
create files owned by root.

If you look in the default /etc/my.cnf, the database runs as user
mysql (for security reasons). 

To fix it, do a chown -R mysql.mysql /var/lib/mysql

If you had started mysql the same way you start other services (httpd,
samba, etc) via tksysv/ntsysv(permanently, on every boot) or service
httpd start (do it right now - equivalent to /etc/init.d/httpd
start), it would have created the database with correct permissions 
automatically. mysql_install_db and safe_mysqld aren't necesarry,
and will often cause problems.

I guess where it can get confusing is when a stock RH7.1 install with PHP
doesn't have mysql support enabled but postgresql is.  To the uninformed
user like me who doesn't care to know the individual RPMS in the distro it
is easy to make that, obviously wrong, assumption when, by default, the

On a lighter note, I am glad to know the php-mysql RPM is on the RH

That depends on what you install. MySQL isn't (like many other
packages) in any of the premade installation categories - you can
select it in a custom install, or do a everything install.

 To the uninformed user like me who doesn't care to know the
 individual RPMS in the distro it is easy to make that, obviously

It's not installed by default either, but if you select both the

Looks interesting, as it supports PostgreSQL, MySQL and ODBC. We're

The Mysql socket thing using Redhat 7.1

2001-09-04 Thread jason bailey

HI,

I'm a new user to Linux and am interested in MySQL and PHP. I currently use
both as a developer elsewhere and am now trying to set up a test server at
home.

I've searched the MYSQL lists and notice that alot of people are getting a
similar problem as myself and I'm not sure if any have got this to work.

I'm consistently getting the error (2002)
: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)

I've read through the manual about problems starting a server but this has
not helped and I've tried to follow help in the lists but again no result.

I run mysql_install_db and get the messages about starting up

I run safe_mysqld  and get something about starting and stopping

I've found the the mysql.sock and it's in the location that the error
mentions the location of the sock thing?? (It's late and I'm tired and a bit
fed up -after being told to forget windows and go to Linux- I really wanted
to agree but am now finding it hard too!)

I've deleted it and running something above has brought it back again!- this
is good I think

I've uninstalled mysql and reinstalled the client, server etc but still the
same error

People keep responding about starting up or restarting the server. Someone
has mentioned Services Mqsqld Start which does something but every single
time I try mysql I get that error.

I'm just going round in circles now. Can someone give me some help.

1. Can i found out if the server is or is not running -which command and
what am I looking for?
2. Can I stop the mysql server
3. Can I start it?

Using anything to do with mysql or mysqladmin results in the error. I'm
currently reading about something to do with configure  how ???

Please please please help

Jason

You shouldn't have done mysql_install_db (which creates db files,
owned by root) and safe_mysqld (which will start the database as
user mysql, who can't read or write to the necesarry files).

Do a chown -R mysql.mysql /var/lib/mysql, then start the database
with service mysqld start. If you had done this (or just selected it
to start in one of the runlevel managers, like ntsysv or tksysv), it
would have initialized the database automatically.

To make mysqld start on every boot, do chkconfig mysqld start.

  Yes, we did.

Red Hat 7.1 has a very nice apache + mysql + php installation and invoking
mysql function calls from the php interface works very well. The only
aspect that puzzles me a little bit is that when I look at the output of
phpinfo(); I see a --without-mysql flag as a configure switch.
How is this possible?

Thanks,

Neil

7.1 doesn't install php with mysql support enabled.  You'll need to
install the source rpm, edit the php.spec file and do a rpm -bb php.spec
and install the resulting rpms.

FYI, redhat is doing this because postgres is no their prefered DBMS.
Can't understand why they don't just compile support for both in.

Are you trying to connect via TCP to a server started with
--skip-networking? Are you connecting to the right port?
Does it work when you use unix sockets instead of TCP/IP?
Can you connect using the command line client (mysql)?

That's all I can think of. :-o

You need to install the php-mysql package, which contains the module
PHP needs to support MySQL.

MySQL with Redhat 7.1

2001-07-23 Thread Adrian . Davis



I have installed Redhat Linux 7.1 with the supplied MySQL distribution
(3.23.36?). I've run the mysql_install_db script, but when I try to start
MySQL using ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql , from the installation directory,
MySQL starts then ends immedately (MySQL ends) without an error!!

The user mysql exists (Created by the install). Are there any other actions I
need to do before trying to start MySQL?

Can anybody help?

Many Thanks,

1) Don't run mysql_install_db or safe_mysqld directly - use service
   mysqld start, it will automatically initialize the database

2) When you run mysql_install_db, you create the files as root -
   later, you try to run the database as mysql. This user won't have
   access to your files.

To fix it, do chown -R mysql.mysql /var/lib/mysql. And you should
run mysql with service mysqld start in the future - or just enable
it by default, with chkconfig mysqld on

RE: MYSQL on RedHat 7.1.

2001-07-16 Thread Milos Rackov

Most likely that there is a problem with where PHP and Java are looking for
the socket. One more possibility (I don't know for Java, but for PHP) - you
need to install a php-mysql (or mysql-php) package.

You need to grant the user you are connecting as the appropriate rights from 
the appropriate host. The jdbc driver uses the default mysql port when 
connecting(check that mysql are listening to the default port), and if you 
also connect from the same machine as you run the server, the client will be 
connecting from 'localhost', or the hostname of your computer, the stacktrace 
from your javaprogram, or a mysql logfile should tell you which host. So you 
need to grant the user in question the  right to connect to the server from 
'localhost'. MySQL manual will tell you how to fo that.
