mysql installation from source

2001-06-21 Thread Aditya Dhekney

Hi, 
I have been trying to install mysql on my server for way too long now!  my
system specs are: intel i686, with linux 6.2 loaded.  

I think i once did get the installation to work almost correctly, or at
least more correctly than it does now...

the problem:  when i compile/make etc., i get no errors at all, so...you may
think...this is good! BUT, unfortunately every time i do this, there is no
mysql.sock file in the /tmp/ directory...infact, it's nowhere on the
system!!!  why would this be the case? where is it? and why doesn't the
setup create it?  can someone PLEASE suggest what i can do...i'm out of
ideas as to what could be causing this problem!

Thanks in advance,
Aditya Dhekney

I think mysql.sock gets created once you start the server. Have you tried
starting it and then looking in /tmp?

Could you list (exactly) what commands you are using to 'unpack',
'configure', 'build', and 'install' the distribution (which package have you
downloaded ?) ??

i'm using mysql-3.23.39.tar.gz

these are the EXACT commands i used:

tar -zxvf mysql-3.23.39.tar.gz

cd mysql-3.23.39

CFLAGS=-O3 CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS=-O3 -felide-constructors -f
no-exceptions -fno-rtti ./configure --prefix=/apps/mysql --enable-assembler
--
with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static

make

make install

scripts/mysql_install_db

chown -R root /apps/mysql/

chown -R mysql /apps/mysql/var

chgrp -R mysql /apps/mysql/

/apps/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql 

(this is where i get the first error (mysqld ended)

in my host.err file, i get this:
010621 15:11:40  mysqld started
010621 15:11:40  Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in
use
010621 15:11:40  Do you already have another mysqld server running on port:
3306
 ?
010621 15:11:40  Aborting

010621 15:11:40  /apps/mysql/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown Complete

010621 15:11:40  mysqld ended

BUT, when i run ps, mysqld is NOT listed...:(

I get the check if tmp/mysql.sock exists error when i try to use
mysqladmin tool.

should i be concerned about the message that says to check tmp/mysql.sock?  

Thanks,
Aditya

Re: mysql installation from source

2001-06-21 Thread Steve Brazill


You have some 'odd' options in your configuration 
line...Have you tried using a 'simple' configuration to see if it will 
buildproperly ? ./configure 
--prefix=/apps/mysqlAre you in the "/apps/mysql" directory when you run 
"mysql_install_db" ??(you should actually be typing "./bin/mysql_install_db" 
)If you're getting the message "Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP 
port:Address already in use, Do you already have another mysqld server 
running onport: 3306" did you check to see if you DO have it running 
already ? (type"ps -ef | grep mysql" )I have attached my 'build' and 
'configure' webdocs for MySQL. Thedirectory 'paths' will be 
different than yours, but the rest should coverwhat you should be 
doing... (I've never had a problembuilding/installing/running MySQL on 
any RedHat 6.2 system). Look closelyat the permission settings I 
use.- Original Message -From: "Aditya Dhekney"
