From: Peter Lloyd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: script Subject: No response from mysql; & mysql_install_db freezes
>Description: I am following the installation instructions in the documentation, and after invoking the script 'mysql_install_db', I see a few announcements, then nothing happens. I waited for hours and still nothing happened. I tried several times and still nothing happened. The announcements that appear on the screen are: Creating db table Creating host table Creating user table Creating func table Creating tables_priv table Creating columns_priv table ... and then nothing. I looked inside the script and I can see that, at this point, it is issuing the command to mysql to create some tables. So, I tried to reproduce this manually, but again I get nothing. The documentation suggests that I should see the 'mysql' prompt and be able to issue SQL commands, but I see no prompt and every command is ignored except <CTRL-Z>, which produces the response Stopped (user) I checked whether the MySQL daemon is running -- it is: 20644 pts/10 0:02 mysqld 20583 pts/10 0:00 csh 20640 pts/10 0:00 mysql_in After several attempts there seem to be multiple daemons, which I guess is wrong. I tried to 'kill <pid>' then but that had no effect. I read the relevant documentation: 2.4.1 Problems Running mysql_install_db but it does not cover this situation. I tried stopping and starting the daemon using mysql.server stop and start, but in both cases I got the response 'cannot execute'. >How-To-Repeat: scripts/mysql_install_db >Fix: Not known.
