From: bruce To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: "mysql start" produces "can't connect thru /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock" >Description:Trying to run mysql-3.23.41 that came with RH7.2 following mysql.org documentation. files are not located as documented either for rpm or source install. 'mysql start' produces 'cannot connect through /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'. mysql.sock is empty. './bin/safe_mysqld user=mysql &' gives me 'starting mysqld daemon with datbases from /var/lib/mysql mysqld ended' and hangs until I hit control c to get a prompt. >How-To-Repeat: see above >Fix: <how to correct or work around the problem, if known (multiple lines)> >Submitter-Id: <submitter ID> >Originator: bruce bales >Organization: <organization of PR author (multiple lines)> >MySQL support: [none | licence | email support | extended email support ] >Synopsis: Can't start mysqld <synopsis of the problem (one line)> >Severity: non critical <[ non-critical | serious | critical ] (one line)> >Priority: low <[ low | medium | high ] (one line)> >Category: mysql >Class: support <[ sw-bug | doc-bug | change-request | support ] (one line)> >Release: mysql-3.23.41 (Source distribution) >Environment: 800MHz Athlon (686), RedHat 7.2, localhost, <machine, os, target, libraries (multiple lines)> System: Linux bertha 2.4.7-10 #1 Thu Sep 6 16:46:36 EDT 2001 i686 unknown Architecture: i686 Some paths: /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/gmake /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/ccGCC: Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98) Compilation info: CC='gcc' CFLAGS='-O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE' CXX='c++' CXXFLAGS='-O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE' LDFLAGS='' LIBC: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 14 13:02 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.2.4.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1285788 Apr 2 10:58 /lib/libc-2.2.4.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27332668 Apr 2 10:42 /usr/lib/libc.a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 178 Apr 2 10:42 /usr/lib/libc.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 10 07:01 /usr/lib/libc-client.a -> c-client.a Configure command: ./configure i386-redhat-linux --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share :--includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/usr/com --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --without-debug --without-readline --enable-shared --with-extra-charsets=complex --with-bench --localstatedir=/var/lib/mysql --with-unix-socket-path=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock --with-mysqld-user=mysql --with-extra-charsets=all --disable-assember --with-berkeley-db --enable-large-files=yes --enable-largefile=yes --with-thread-safe-client --enable-assembler
