After that i can't connect to mysqld (timeout), that is "mysqladmin status" does not work. After that I kill mysqld with "kill `cat /path/servername.pid`" and start again. But mysqld does not accept connections (without timeout). It starts working only after 5-10 kill/starts, or maybe some timeout. What does that error message mean? How can I avoid that? Why mysqld does not accept connections after restart? Gediminas Girgzdys ------------------------------ E-mail: g.girgzdys@stripped Phone: +370-2-221712 Fax: +370-2-220627
