I have the following install of mysql on RedHat 6.2: mysql Ver 11.15 Distrib 3.23.38, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) The server was running for about two weeks until yesterday when the server just stopped accepting connections. I rebooted the entire machine and on startup of mysqld, the following is in the log (.err): 010612 22:39:28 mysqld started instead of what usually is there when it boots successfully: 010603 00:11:08 mysqld started /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections Only a kill -9 can kill the server/daemon process. Does ANYONE have any idea how to fix this? I've ready several threads on this and I haven't really deciphered what the problem/solution is. Looking forward to some help. Thanks!! Sue
