Just add that user to your wheel group(be careful though, as that gives that user full power usually) and change the sudoers file(/etc/sudoers) to reflect that. Is there a reason why you only want manual startups of MySQL? I just added the startup script to my /etc/init.d dir as mysql, gave it execution permissions and did a chkconfig and it always runs at boot. Cheers. Mark Sargent. EDIT: I originally sent this to the OP mistakenly addressing him/her as Barry. Sorry about that. You could also do like below, from, http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/man/sudoers.html Runas_Spec A Runas_Spec is simply a Runas_List (as defined above) enclosed in a set of parentheses. If you do not specify a Runas_Spec in the user specification, a default Runas_Spec of root will be used. A Runas_Spec sets the default for commands that follow it. What this means is that for the entry: dgbboulder = (operator) /bin/ls, /bin/kill, /usr/bin/lprm The user dgb may run /bin/ls, /bin/kill, and /usr/bin/lprm -- but only as operator. E.g., $ sudo -u operator /bin/ls. It is also possible to override a Runas_Spec later on in an entry. If we modify the entry like so: dgbboulder = (operator) /bin/ls, (root) /bin/kill, /usr/bin/lprm Then user dgb is now allowed to run /bin/ls as operator, but /bin/kill and /usr/bin/lprm as root -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Starting mysql monitor on Windows 2000
I'm trying to run the MySQL monitor in a DOS box and having no luck. I open a DOS box, and no matter what command I run, I do not get the nifty mysql prompt that I can get on my Linux machine. Here are some permutations and the results (or lack thereof): c:\mysql\bin mysql -u root -p mysql: unknown variable 'log-general.log' I tried downloading the latest zipped binaries (5.0.19) and put them in a temp dir. After turning off the current running MySQL service, I ran the mysqld binary: c:\temp\bin mysql --console This worked fine - told me server was up and waiting. Then I opened a second DOS box, ran mysql -u root, and was greeted with my desired mysql prompt. Then, I go back to my original installation: C:\mysql\binmysqld --console 060327 18:51:04 [Warning] options --log-slow-admin-statements and w-queries is not set 060327 18:51:05 [Note] mysqld: ready for connections. Version: '5.0.15' socket: '' port: 3306 Official MySQL binary Finally, I go to a second DOS box and this happens: C:\mysql\binmysql -u root -p mysql: unknown variable 'log=general.log' C:\mysql\bin I should have gotten the mysql prompt. 1. I don't understand what I did this time (mysqld --console) that gets the server to work that didn't work before. (I thought the --console option was just an aid, not a requirement to connect to the server.) 2. I'm guessing there's setting in my original installation that doesn't exist in the temp version.

Re: starting MySQL
Darryl Reeves [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I am new to MySQL and was recently given a task where I need to transfer a database from one computer to another. Both computers are Macintoshes running OS X Panther. Both computers are running MySQL through localhost. The computer to which I am transferring the database has MySQL up and running perfectly fine. The computer from which I want to get the database is able to query the database through a web application using Perl but when I try to run MySQL from the Unix command line using the following text: mysql -h localhost -u root -p I get the following response -sh: mysql: command not found. As far as I know, MySQL is installed correctly on this machine (I would assume it has to be in order for the web application to access the database through Perl and MySQL). If I can start and run MySQL, I know that I can dump the database using the mysqldump command. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I need to do to get the mysql command to execute correctly so that I can run the program? You just need to find it first. As root, do find / -name mysql and see where it is hiding.

Where do I look for log file? I have read mysql log file and see no indication of start up with linux, last entry is about prior shutdown. (BTW every time mysql starts it writes on err file: /usr/sbin/mysqld-max: File '/var/log/mysql/mysql.log' not found (Errcode: 13) but directory /var/log/mysql/ do exist) I have found in google dmesg but it shows only harware messages. I have looked in /var/log where there are several log files but see nothing (I expected to see somewhere something like apache2 started, and look there for mysql but see nothing) thanks, Hassan Hassan Schroeder wrote: Juan Pedro Reyes Molina wrote: which mysql gives me /usr/bin/mysql. echo $PATH shows me that /usr/bin is the fourth try.

Re: starting mysql 4.1.12 on Ubuntu Linux
Hello Jonathan. I have renamed /etc/init.d/mysql to mysqld and added symbolic link to rc2.d. Now it works. I will add symbolic link to rc1.d too. Being this my third day with linux its being a long jump :-) Thank you Jonathan and Hassan for your good help!

I thougth this was windows like, where PATH is only used if program is not found in active directory. If you wish it, currrent directory (.) should be added to $PATH. export PATH=.:$PATH So, I have a script in /etc/init.d called mysql and an executable in /usr/bin also called mysql that takes precedence. /etc/init.d probably isn't (and maybe shouldn't be) in your PATH. Less confusion if you rename /etc/init.d/mysql to mysqld. I thought that when linux starts all scripts in /etc/init.d where given the start signal. If so I don't understand why mysql remains stopped on linux start up but wake up smoothly when I issue a manual /etc/init.d/mysql start. It looks like a bug in Ubuntu distro. On my Solaris box, there is a directory named /etc/rc2.d. In that directory is a symbolic link to /etc/init.d/mysqld named S99mysqld. This means that the mysql server will be started in init state 2. In /etc/rc1.d is a symbolic link to /etc/init.d/mysqld named K99mysqld. This means that the mysql server will be killed in init state 1. Your /etc/rc directory structure may vary somewhat. ln -s /etc/init.d/mysqld /etc/rc2.d/S99mysqld I have tried cp /etc/init.d/mysql /etc/init.d/mysqltmp but issuing /etc/init.d/mysqltmp gives me bash: mysqltmp: command not found mysqltmp may not be executable. chmod u+x mysqltmp Hassan Schroeder wrote: Juan Pedro Reyes Molina wrote: With my sql stopped I go to console as root and write: cd /etc/init.d mysql start At this point, try (as root) which mysql It will certainly not be /etc/init.d/mysql, but somewhere in your defined PATH; try echo $PATH to see what that is I would like to learn what's the difference between mysql start and /etc/init.d/mysql start if I'm sitting on /etc/init.d '/etc/init.d/mysql' defines the executable you want to run explicitly; 'mysql' is the first instance of an executable with that name in your PATH. I think this error is preventing mysql from automatically starting on start up. Probably not; look in your error logs for more information on that. And in any case 'mysql' is generally the *client* program; *mysqld* is the server that you want to start. Sounds like your distro has a confusingly named startup file in /etc/init.d.

Re: Starting mysql as a service once installed
On 22 Nov 2004 at 9:34, James Sherwood wrote: Hello, I have installed mysql but did not install it as a service. All I do is runmysqld-max-nt.exe Now I need it to run as a service. It is on a win2003 machine. Can I make it run as a service once I already have it installed. I cannot lose data and do not want to do a mysqldump, uninstall and reinstall as this would bring the server down for too long. Is there a way to make it start running as a service? Thanks in advance James Hi James, You can install / uninstall the MySQL service by running the program with a special command line switch. I am not sure of your level of windows experience so I will describe the process in its most basic form. Open a command prompt and change directories to the MySQL programs directory. If you installed MySQL to the folder c:\mysql, this command would be: cd c:\mysql\bin Then run the mysqld-max-nt.exe program with the switch *-install* : mysqld-max-nt.exe -install You can also uninstall the service using this command: mysqld-max-nt.exe -remove For more command line install options run this command and then read the txt file that is created ( help.txt ) mysqld-max-nt.exe --help help.txt There are options to install the service under a different name and with different start up options. Hope this helps Regards Ian -- -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: starting mysql daemon.... help me !!!
As root, you start the mysql server. The first thing the server does is switch to running as the mysql user, then it tries to bind the socket. Most likely, your problem is that the mysql user does not have permission to write the socket file in /var/run/mysql. As root, run `chown mysql:mysql /var/run/mysql`.

newbie question re: (re)starting MySQL
Just recently started seriously studying the infernal trio of Apache, MySQL PHP and got off to a decent start, but for reasons unknown can no longer get MySQL to start up from the DOS prompt. I keep getting a Can't initialize InnoDB as innodb_data_file_path is not set message when I enter the C:\mysql\binmysqld --standalone command. This command had previously worked without problems; now it doesn't. The only possibility I can think of offhand is that my subsequently experimenting with WinMySQLadmin may have somehow disabled being able to start up MySQL from the DOS prompt (which I want to continue to utilize for the sake of learning proper command-line procedures in anticipation of our pending migration to Linux as our primary OS). Perhaps this is a long shot and I've missed the mark entirely in trying to decipher what isn't congealing at present. Would appreciate whatever guidance (debugging?) that the more experienced users may have to offer.

Re: starting MySql on redhat 7
I don't know if you have fixed this probelm, but I had the same problem on Red Hat 7.0. I had installed the rpm files from MySQL.com and RedHat.com. The problem was solved by doing the following. chmod 755 the "mysql" directory that contains the "mysql.sock" file. I am currently running the latest release of MySQL Server Client. Don't take this advice as perfect. I am a newbie also. Mike, "bobit" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote .. Hi - here's my prob and background info. Tried the fix - it didn't work. MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) Any thoughts...? I'm not sure if it's the same problem but here goes: I just did a fresh install of RH 7.0 with apache, php, and mysql. I had the same problem. All I had to do was change the permissions on my MySQL directory (in your case "/var/lib/mysql") so that my apache user (the user/group that apache runs as) has access. check to make sure it also changes permissions on the mysql.sock file. That's the important one. I believe apache only needs read (maybe execute) access. chmod 755 /var/lib/mysql (that's from memory, but you know the gist of the problem) Groan..I knew linux was tough but I didn't think I needed a black belt. I've got exactly the same prob after a straight redhat7 install. I tried to take milner's advice and: changed the /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock to 755 for root who I'm logged in as. Then tried to do the same thing for the Mysql directory. It won't change. Tried a re-boot. Then figured there was something screwy with the directory. Moved mysql.sock to /test rmdir mysql mkdir mysql copied the file back in. The file now had rw permissions only. But in the test dir root had all the permissions to it. Is it being blocked higher up in the tree. My linux book isn't very good on dir permissions. Will chmod change these even if the directory is not empty. And how do u list permissions to a directory? ls -l only seems to work for files. In the error log in the same directory I also get: mysql.host doesn't exist - but this may be a susequent error.

Re: Starting MySQL
Please add /usr/local/mysql/bin in your PATH. dwayne I'm fairly new to MySQL and unix. I have installed mysql on redhat 6.2 without too many problems. I am changing my o/s to FreeBSD 4.2 and have installed mysql after many hours of grief. I have mysql set to start at boot time and this seems to work well. The problem I have is that I can't access the server from the command prompt without using the full path to mysql (ie /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql).

Re: Starting MySQL
OK, I am just a bit confused still so I will try again. Do I need to stop mysql as it is running now before I start safe_mysql or will it just replace the current running version? Also, does it matter where I start it from? I can telnet to the server, execute the command and then move on. As far as database access is concerned. I have an admin person who would make changes to the database. They would log in through the web but how do you know where they are coming from to grant them special priviledges? Also, when Joe Bob out there tries to execute the PERL script that accesses the tables and executes queries, how am I supposed to grant them access to read information? How would I know who Joe Bob is coming into the website? Do I just grant the world read access to my database? Sorry but I just don't quite understand this stuff yet. Thanks.

Do I need to stop the current server and restart it as safe_mysqld? That is the part I am most confused by, what to do now that I had already started it regularly. If anyone can help, that would be great. If you plan on using your db for some critical business service, I'd recommend running it in safe mode. This way, if and when it crashed, it would obviously restart. You can also tweak the startup script to notify you in some manner that it died and restarted. Also, if you just create a table as root and do not do anything with security and permissions, would a perl program written on any domain name on that server be allowed to access the database, or do I need to give special permission to that domain name. I am curious if I just give a host, "www.test.com", full access. I just get confused between the host and the user. Is the user just the name being used to log in to host? If so, when someone just executes the perl script from a call from the browser, do I have to specify any specific permissions there. They will not be running the script as the user I specify. I have read about the wildcard "%" option but that seems a little unsafe. I had a bear with this as well; I know your pain! I found that if you make explicit enteries in the 'user' table of the 'mysql' db with password access from specific hosts, localhost as well, this goes a long way to lock people out from wreaking havoc with mySQL. Second, setup access for % from % with an encoded password (use the paswword() when you make the entry) in the user table. Also give them NO privileges of any kind. I'm pretty sure that this is the M.O. when a new entry is added. Once this is complete. Add individual entries into the db table for each user you want in and what db they are allowed to connect to. Tweak the individual privileges here. Once this is complete, do a [flush privileges] and you should be ready to go. Good luck!! -Martin Any help would be appreciated. I did my research before asking!

Re: Starting MySQL
Yes stop the old and start the new...on a side note...should have bought DuBios's book...ISBN: 0-7357-0921-1 Found it to be an invaluable source on this sort of stuff. In any event safe_mysqld seems to be default on most sytems...Yes please get you security straight...if the app is colocated on the same server you can get away with localhost, however; if not then you must make an entry for each domain...
