This happens when I try to start the mysql daemon. I have checked the manual, but cannot fathom what else I am supposed to do.
Here is what has been done so far: ./scripts//mysql_install_db seemed to initialize the MySQL db's ok. I also executed the following statements without issue: chown -R root /usr/local/mysql chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/data chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql ./bin/mysqladmin --version dows return the version of MySQL ok. ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql & and got the following: [root@cofr3 mysql]# ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 021122 12:31:41 mysqld ended Regards, Ken Illingsworth --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
