Hi,
I’ve been having trouble getting MySql to start as a service on my Linux box. When I type in:
service mysql start
I get the following result:
[root@donthyde mysql]# Starting mysql daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
021123 19:38:54 mysql ended
For some reason, MySQL suddenly just quits.
I try running MySQL after the above message and get:
ERROR 2002: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket’/tmp/mysql.sock’
I am able to start MySQL manually however, by using the command (when in the MySQL root directory)
./bin/mysqld
or the safe_mysqld
Note though…
When I use the service mysql start command, although it says MySQL has ended, the daemon is still loaded in memory, but I can’t quit it or use it. (use a PS -A to see it there)
This means that if I want to start MySQL, I must start it directly using the ./bin/mysqld script
Other than that, MySQL works ok!
I’d appreciate any support anyone can give!
Thanks!
