>Description: I can not start the mysqld daemon. I had it running for a long time, but then had to reboot. Then I could no longer connect. >How-To-Repeat: followed the directions on http://wiki.amazon.com/?MySQLInstallation, but to no avail. When I run the first command there: sudo adduser -d /workplace2/mysql -c "MySQL account" mysql I am informed that this user already exists. This makes sense, but doing the daemon start: sudo -u mysql ./mysqld_safe --user=mysql --datadir=/workplace2/mysql/data & failes in the correct directory because there is no executable called mysqld_safe at all.
I tried setting up a new existense as mysql2, but to no luck. I also tried starting it via the output that was generated when I did a mysql_install_db. It said that it could not change directories: [EMAIL PROTECTED]>/opt/third-party/depot/Linux-2.4c2.2-i686/mysql-3.23.55/libexec/mysqld: Can't change dir to '/opt/disco/third-party/Linux-2.4c2.2-i686/mysql-3.23.55/var/' (Errcode: 2) >Fix: >Submitter-Id: pohlhaut >Originator: Paul Ohlhaut >Organization: Seller Central >MySQL support: [none | licence | email support | extended email support ] >Synopsis: can not start mysql daemon >Severity: critical >Priority: >Category: mysql >Class: >Release: mysql-3.23.55 (Source distribution) >Environment: Linux Red Hat 7.2 System: Linux pohlhaut.desktop.amazon.com 2.4.21-2.3a #1 Fri Dec 5 04:53:08 PST 2003 i686 unknown Architecture: i686 Some paths: /opt/third-party/bin/perl /opt/third-party/bin/make /usr/bin/gmake /opt/third-party/bin/gcc GCC: Reading specs from /opt/third-party/depot/Linux-2.4c2.2-i686/gcc-2.95.3/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3/specs gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) Compilation info: CC='/opt/third-party/depot/Linux-2.4c2.2-i686/gcc-2.95.3/bin/gcc' CFLAGS=' -mcpu=pentiumpro -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64' CXX='/opt/third-party/depot/Linux-2.4c2.2-i686/gcc-2.95.3/bin/g++' CXXFLAGS='' LDFLAGS='' LIBC: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Sep 30 2003 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.2.4.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1283964 Dec 8 2001 /lib/libc-2.2.4.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27314296 Dec 8 2001 /usr/lib/libc.a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 178 Dec 8 2001 /usr/lib/libc.so Configure command: ./configure '--prefix=/opt/third-party/depot/Linux-2.4c2.2-i686/mysql-3.23.55' 'CC=/opt/third-party/depot/Linux-2.4c2.2-i686/gcc-2.95.3/bin/gcc' 'CFLAGS= -mcpu=pentiumpro -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64' 'CXX=/opt/third-party/depot/Linux-2.4c2.2-i686/gcc-2.95.3/bin/g++' -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
