Hey I'm having problems getting mysql started on slackware. First I had a problem with the preinstalled version so I uninstalled it and reinstalled mysql 4.1.8 figuring starting from the begining might help. It sure seemed like it was going to be better this time but when I run:
bash-2.05b# ./bin/mysqld_safe
I get this: Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /mysql/data STOPPING server from pid file /mysql/data/ninjaz.pid 041224 14:42:49 mysqld ended
I looked at my pid file and there is nothing in there. If that means anything.
when I looked at my .err file this is what I see
041224 14:42:49 mysqld started
041224 14:42:49 [Warning] Asked for 196608 thread stack, but got 126976
041224 14:42:49 [ERROR] Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: No such file or directory
041224 14:42:49 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock ?
041224 14:42:49 [ERROR] Aborting
041224 14:42:49 [Note] /mysql/bin/mysqld: Shutdown complete
041224 14:42:49 mysqld ended
/var/run/ ----is where I mysql was originally installed
I have recently edited my rc.mysqld file to reflect the locations of all my new files
this is what it looks like
#!/bin/sh # Start/stop/restart mysqld. # # Copyright 2003 Patrick J.

# To start MySQL automatically at boot, be sure this script is executable: # chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld
# Before you can run MySQL, you must have a database. To install an initial
# database, do this as root:
#
# su - mysql
# mysql_install_db
#
# Note that step one is becoming the mysql user. It's important to do this
# before making any changes to the database, or mysqld won't be able to write
# to it later (this can be fixed with 'chown -R mysql.mysql /var/lib/mysql').
# To disallow outside connections to the database (if you don't need them, this
# is recommended to increase security), uncomment the next line:
#SKIP="--skip-networking"
# Start mysqld:
mysqld_start() {
if [ -x /mysql/bin/mysqld_safe ]; then
# If there is an old PID file (no mysqld running), clean it up:
if [ -r /mysql/data/ninjaz.pid ]; then
if ! ps ax | grep mysqld 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null ; then
