mysql_upgrade doesn't find its own stuff
Hello, I was just trying out the mysql_upgrade script on my MySQL 5.0 server but it shows an error message that makes me believe it doesn't know where to find its own data. Here's what I did: mysql_upgrade --basedir=/usr/local/mysql5 --datadir=/var/mysql5/data --password And this is what I got: Enter password: [so did I] /usr/local/mysql5/bin/mysqlcheck: Got error: 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) when trying to connect Could not find MySQL command-line client (mysql). Please use --basedir to specify the directory where MySQL is installed. The correct socket to connect to would be /var/tmp/mysql5.sock which is written in the my.cnf file in the given datadir. And 'mysql' is in the $PATH so my shell finds it without a problem. What can I do to make that programme work? The MySQL version is 5.0.21 on a Debian 3.1 Linux system. The server is running and works perfectly. I'm not sure if I should upgrade to 5.0.24 if this script doesn't work. -- Yves Goergen LonelyPixel [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://beta.unclassified.de – My web laboratory. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Maybe it's finding an old version, check it: mysql --version -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Maybe it's finding an old version, check it: mysql --version The 'mysql' binary it finds (located using 'which') is from the mysql5 directory, I've changed my PATH so that it works. There's a MySQL 4.0 in /usr/local/mysql4 and the 5.0 in /usr/local/mysql5 on that machine, no old versions, it was a clean OS image before it has seen any MySQL. 'mysql --version' says: mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.21, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) using readline 5.0 What for do I specify the basedir and datadir (which should be enough) if mysql_upgrade can't use it to find the files? -- Yves Goergen LonelyPixel [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://beta.unclassified.de – My web laboratory. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
