mySQL Daemon Fails to start

[Jesse]

Hello all,
I am currently running mysql on a SuSE 9.0 machine. here is the mysql version
Server version  4.0.15
Protocol version10
Connection  Localhost via UNIX socket
UNIX socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Uptime: 23 min 0 sec
The
problem I'm having is that whenever I start the service rcmysql start
or directly from /etc/init.d/mysql it fails to start. the weird thing
is that I can access the databases and login to mysql. Any idea on what
I can try to correct this problem and get the daemon to run properly?
I've also done this:
 mysqladmin -u root -p ping 
and it's returned mysqld is alive
When I run the command  ps -e  I get three instances of mysqld and one of 
mysqld_safe. This safe instance worries me a little.
thanks
marshall

mysql daemon fails to start.

[Ezequiel Chernitsky]

Hi,

After trying to install mysql succesfully on RH7 (yes, it finally
worked), I discovered that the daemon doesn´t start at boot. I tailed
the log and it says this:

010208 10:25:03  mysqld started
010208 10:25:04  /usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm'
(errno: 13)
010208 10:25:04  mysqld ended

Can someone explain me what´s wrong?

Thanks!!!

Ezequiel.

 Suse 7.0 when I ran rpm -Uhv MySql*3.23.32-1.i386.rpm against the sever, the
client and the
shared rpms.It ran without error and created the appropriate files on  a 10 gig
/var/lib/mysql.
I moved the contents of mysql to /dbshare and created a symbolic link in /var/lib

called mysql which pointed to /dbshare.I had that error  until I set the
ownership of the link, /dbshare,
/dbshare/mysql and everything in /dbshare/mysql  to "mysql w group root". When I
did that, safe_mysqld was successful in starting mysql from root. You mught look
at the permissions
and ownership of your   /usr/sbin/mysqld: and everything in it. The only thing
which should have an ownership
and group of mysql/deamon is myslq.sock. everything else should be mysql/? maybe
root.
