I am running TurboLinux 3.0.1 with MySQL 3.22.20a.
This is an updated RPM package install
mysqld is in:
/usr/sbin/mysqld
mysql is in:
/usr/bin/mysql
databases are in:
/var/lib/mysql/
There is also a directory with some scripts and stuff in:
/usr/share/mysql/
There is a file /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql which is linked to /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S98mysql which
is what is run at boot time. It looks like a pretty standard stop/start a daemon type
thing.
The problem is that when the init.d scripts are being executed, the mysql dies almost
immediately after it starts.
The /var/lib/mysql/vader.pacbell.net.err (hostname.err) file looks like this:
mysqld started on Sat Mar 20 11:53:06 PST 1999
990320 11:53:08 /usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/user.frm' (errno: 13)
mysqld ended on Sat Mar 20 11:53:09 PST 1999
Funny thing is, (not knowing where it assumes the current dir is exactly)
/var/lib/mysql/mysql/usr.frm exists
Funnier still is that when I log in as root and run the same script:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start, it starts up just fine with the usual 3 processes and
everything appears normal... Can anyone tell me what is going on here? How do I stop it
from dying at startup?
Thanks
