Hi,
I am a total linux and mysql newb, I am preparing this info as best as
possible. Below is the output from the mysqlbug utility.
I followed the directions for installing mysql based on this page
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Installing_binary.html
From: root
To: mysql@stripped
Subject: [50 character or so descriptive subject here (for reference)]
>Description:
trying to start DB,....
[root@rhfury mysql]# bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
[1] 8402
[root@rhfury mysql]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from
/var/lib/mysql
040323 11:00:07 mysqld ended
[1]+ Done bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql
[root@rhfury mysql]#
I only get the last two lines after pressing Enter, otherwise the cursor
simply blinks until I do.
I run this to test if the DB is up or not
[root@rhfury mysql]# bin/mysqladmin version
bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'
(2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!
[root@rhfury mysql]#
>How-To-Repeat:
I can repeat it consistantly. From what I can tell, I have never gotten
the DB to start
>Fix:
I checked to see if the /tmp/mysql.sock file exists, and it does not. I
have been looking through the documentation on how to create the file, but
have failed to find anything (which doesnt mean it isnt there somewhere) I
may have other problems, but I figure getting this file where it is supposed
to be will be a good start. I have gone through the installation process
two times now with the same results.
thank you
