MySQL socket and logs locations
Hi, I've installed MySQL 5.0.24a-standard on my AMD 64, SuSE 10.0 box, using the binary distribution from the MySQL downloads site. I've also installed the GUI tools from the same location, using the SuSE 10.x rpm packages. The intention is to use MySQL with PHP5 and Apache. Both these latter have been installed from the SuSE rpm files supplied on DVD with SuSE 10.0. I have a couple of problems. Firstly, PHP seems to want the mysql.sock file to be in /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock - at least this is the location given by phpinfo() - instead of /tmp/mysql.sock. This location appears to be contained in an environment variable called MYSQL_SOCKET, but I can't find where it is set. One solution would be to get MySQL to put the mysql.sock file in the place expected by PHP. Is this possible? At the moment, I have a /etc/my.cnf file with the following content: [mysqld] socket=/tmp/mysql.sock [client] socket=/tmp/mysql.sock I added these entries in an attempt to get PHP to use the actual location that MySQL is using, but this doesn't appear to have had any effect (according to phpinfo()). Secondly, MySQL appears to be trying to write logs to /var/log/mysql (according to MySQL Administrator). This location does not exist. I'm getting no error messages, but presumably this means I'm not getting any logs either. Should I create this location and if so, what permissions and ownership should I give to the directory?

The difference between our two setups is that you've done the SuSE 10.0 YaST install of mysql 4.1. I needed to upgrade from that to MySQL 5.0, because I wanted to use stored procedures. The result is that I had to do a binary install from files supplied by MySQL on their site. It was either that or upgrade to SuSE 10.1. However, I think I've sorted it by altering my /etc/my.cnf file. Time will tell :) Sorry I cannot help anymore. Thanks for trying. It's appreciated.

RE: soft link mysql socket?
Hello, mysql Gurus, Because of disk space issues, the data dir of my mysql DB is somewhere else other than /var/lib/mysql. I did not link /var/lib/mysql to the real data dir though.

When I start getting this error, the mysql crashes, any application which I
try to start which uses mysql backend, says mysql.sock error could not
connect .

Another mysql.sock error!
Firstly, when you start getting the error, what's happening to MySQL? Do
you access it in any other way, or only though the script which works
via the socket? Can you connect to MySQL with the command-line client,
or with MySQLCC?
Maybe MySQL is crashing and this is the reason which you can't connect
through the socket. What do the mysql logs say? Maybe examine / post them.

Re: Mysql Socket Error
Birju,
What messages do you get in the mysql log file? The message you're
getting from perl just says that the database is not available. Before
you try to restart mysql, have you checked to see if there are still
mysql processes running (ps -eax |grep -i mysql). Have you run myisamchk
on the tables since mysql has crashed.

Re: Mysql Socket Error
Birju,
Here's a little Linux/Unix info for you.
The /tmp/mysql.sock in question is used for ipc (Inter Process
Communication). This allows other applications to communicate with the mysql
server without using a TCP/IP connection. This eliminates the need to pass
everything through the networking code.
In the post below, the person is having problems when trying to connect
through the network layer. It would be like changing your database connect
string to
DBI connect('database=search;host=192.168.1.5','web',...).
As far as the 1045 error, it does not look like you typed everything
correctly. What is the -number supposed to be?

See below for comments on logs...

Cannot initialize InnoDB as 'innodb_data_file_path' is not set.
If you do not want to use transactional InnoDB tables, add a line
skip-innodb
to the [mysqld] section of init parameters in your my.cnf
or my.ini. If you want to use InnoDB tables, add to the [mysqld]
section, for example,
innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend
But to get good performance you should adjust for your hardware
the InnoDB startup options listed in section 2 at
http://www.innodb.com/ibman.html
It wouldn't be a bad idea to do what MySQL is suggesting and either set
the innodb data file path, or ad the skip-innodb option to your my.cnf

This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose
the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong
and this may fail
key_buffer_size=8388600
record_buffer=131072
sort_buffer=2097144
max_used_connections=40
max_connections=100
threads_connected=2
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (record_buffer + sort_buffer)*max_connections = 225791 K
bytes of memory
Hope that's ok, if not, decrease some variables in the equation
Right. Here is where I'd be getting worried. Once a db server crashes
like this, I do a re-install and restore my data from a backup. I've
found that if you continue after a crash like this, the chances of
another crash are increased, and also there is no easy way of knowing if
your data is corrupt or missing.
If you use the rpm installation method, sorry ... you're on your own. I
compile MySQL and install into /usr/local/mysql, and if things go bad (
which hasn't happened for over a year for me now, and was hardware
related in my case anyway ), I:
mv /usr/local/mysql /usr/local/mysql_CORRUPT
cd /usr/src/mysql-4.0.17
make install
scripts/mysql_install_db
and then restart the server, import my backups that I create with
mysqldump, and run the transaction logs that were created after the last
backup.
I don't remember MySQL-4.0.15 doing this on me ever, but that's not to
say that it's not a bug. The latest version is 4.0.17 anyway, so I
suggest that the first thing you do is do a full dump of your
database(s), upgrade to 4.0.17, and import your data.
Next, I'd do some hardware checks. Get a memory testing app ( memtest86
- I think - is available on freshmeat ). After testing with this, and
maybe doing a big compile job ( some kde libs should do nicely ), if you
are sure it isn't a hardware issue, make a bug report. Don't overlook
hardware issues, especially on a built-it-myself box. My crashes went
away completely when I dumped our old K6-2 500 for our new Athlon 2000XP
box :)

RE: linux and mysql socket
If it truly ran fine for a few days and then you couldn't run the client, you may have another problem. If you rebooted the box, mysqld may not have automatically started. So, all of the sudden, the client can't connect to the socket since it is not there as the server is not running. You can check the my.cnf file until your are blue in the face, but, if the server isn't running, then the socket file isn't anywhere to be found, no matter what is in my.cnf.

Re: mysql socket problem in win98 (thanks for the help!)
First of all, thanks to everyone for no reply and no help! If someone is interested, I've found that i Win9x systems, if there are persistent connections open, the system instead of used the same opened connection for the same session, it opens a new connection for each script call, and, because it can't close persistent connections, (the port has always estabilished connection), it ever opens new port connection to the 3306 (Mysql server), while it reachs the open port limit. So, it's impossible to make new connections with servers.

If someone is interested, I've found that i Win9x systems, if there are persistent connections open, the system instead of used the same opened connection for the same session, it opens a new connection for each script call, and, because it can't close persistent connections, (the port has always estabilished connection), it ever opens new port connection to the 3306, while it reachs the open port limit. So, it's impossible to make new connections with servers. Ciao __ Scarica il nuovo Yahoo!

mysql socket problem in win98
HI, I'm on a win98 2ED system, running - Apache 1.3.26 + php 4.2.3 - Mysql 3.23.52 (started server is mysqld) I'm running some php scripts, that works with a database. Every script, makes a db_connect. It happens that, after a certain time (I don't know how much, and I don't know if it really involved), and/or after a certain number (I don't know how much again!) of operations, win98 begins to open a new connection to the 3306 port (mysqld) for each db operation!. After that, it's merely a question of time, and when the connections become so many, it becomes impossible to connect to any port. I'm asking for your help bacause I don't know what to do. Thanks in advance.

Re: The Mysql socket thing using Redhat 7.1
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. jason bailey ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) writes: I'm consistently getting the error (2002) : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) You mean /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock? Details are IMPORANT. 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.

Re: The Mysql socket thing using Redhat 7.1
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 with complex systems like these. I was commenting on the lack of detail in your post - 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, help if you can supply as much detail as possible. I would'nt blame you for flaming my first email was a little rude. The detail I will try for next time. I've deleted it and running something above has brought it back again!- this is good I think Bad idea. Slightly sarcastic- sorry No, this really *is* a bad idea! The mysql.sock file is created by the server - if 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. -- Trond Eivind Glomsrød Red Hat, Inc. - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

The Mysql socket thing using Redhat 7.1
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 ???

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. -- Trond Eivind Glomsrød Red Hat, Inc. - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

Problem with MySQL socket file after re-install on RH 7.1
Hello: I re-installed MySql RPM and now cannot access MySql. The details... I have RedHat 7.1 installed and am running Apache 1.3.14, MySql 3.23.26 and PHP 4.04, all from the RedHat 7.1 installation. They have been running for a month in a stable environment with any problems. I have used all 3 apps extensively. Other related utilities installed and working: MySQLGUI 1.7.5 phpMyAdmin 2.2.0 webmin 0.87 (RH 7.1) A few days ago and while trying to change the root password for MySql, I did something wrong and could not access MySql. I reviewed the MySQL docs and The bitbybit.dk MySQL FAQ regarding my problems. So using RPM, I uninstalled the 4 MySql database apps (mysql, mysql-devel, mysql-server and mysqlclient9). I removed the Mysql log file and the Mysql database directory, then re-booted. I then installed the 4 packages using RPM and re-booted. No problems reported. All defaults locations are used. In the boot log, this is the error whenever I boot and mysqld is run... == 010722 15:59:11 mysqld started 010722 15:59:13 /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13) 010722 15:59:13 mysqld ended And whenever I try to access Mysql, I get this error message... == ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) The mysql.sock file appears only after mysqld is run. I have sysreports from before and after. I could fix this my doing a RedHat 7.1 Installation, but hopefully there will be a quicker way, and it will be good for me to learn how to solve this one. Your help in solving this problem is greatly appreciated as I am dead in the water without MySql. Thanks very much.

MySQL socket
Hi, I've just installed Apache, MySQL and PHP on RedHat 7.0 and I can't connect to MySQL through PHP. I get an error saying that it can't connect to MySQL using socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. When I connect to the MySQL server through the mysql client program, I can see that that is the socket it uses to connect. What happens here? Thanks in advance, Diego
