Quick question. I just did an upgrade from source from 3.23.x to
4.0.18. A few things came up.
1. chown -R mysql var causes my RedHat 7.3 to complain.
chown: getting attributes of `var': No such file or directory
2. Stopped mysql by typing
shell> service mysql stop
3. Tried to start using "/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql
&"
[root@narsil mysql]# touch: creating `/usr/local/mysql/var/narsil.err':
No such file or directory
chown: getting attributes of `/usr/local/mysql/var/narsil.err': No such
file or directory
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/var
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe: /usr/local/mysql/var/narsil.err: No
such file or directory
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe: /usr/local/mysql/var/narsil.err: No
such file or directory

040220 13:04:57 mysqld ended
tee: /usr/local/mysql/var/narsil.err: No such file or directory
Typing "ps -aux | grep my" displays:

/usr/local/mysql/
mysql 32248 0.0 2.3 54068 11836 ? S 13:04 0:00
/usr/local/mysql/
So it would appear that the mysql daemon is running but now I can't
access the databases with the mysql client e.g., mysql -u root -p.
Help would be most graciously appreciated.
