Hi there, I've a question: I've installed Mysql (with YAST), but when i now want to start mysql i get an error: Restarting service MySQL Shutting down service MySQL done Will update MySQL now, if you encounter any problems, please read following file: /usr/share/doc/packages/mysql/README.SuSE Running protected MySQL... error: /var/run/mysql/protected/mysql.sock file didn't appeared... I tried a lot but i don't know what to do now. Can anyone help me? greetz, Gert-jan
Mysql was already on that server and it worked. but with some problems with the database, we've desided to remove mysql and reinstall it....... And now it won't work......
Hmm make sure mysql is REALLY removed, don't upgrade OVER the old one, remove the old one first, then install the new version. should do the trick.. i'm reading a lot of threads and it always comes down to ppl who upgrade over the old one, instead of removing it first. i assume the dir /var/run/mysql/protected/ exists? what's the mysql socket location defined in your my.cnf?
Hi Mark, First of all, thans for taking some time for me! I've looked, and the dir /var/run/mysql/protected/ exists! (It's an empty dir) a part of the my.cnf (/etc/my.cnf): ------------------------------------- [client] #password = your_password port = 3306 socket = /var/run/mysql/protected/mysql.sock # Here follows entries for some specific programs # The MySQL server [mysqld] port = 3306 socket = /var/run/mysql/protected/mysql.sock skip-locking key_buffer_size = 16K max_allowed_packet = 1M table_open_cache = 4 sort_buffer_size = 64K read_buffer_size = 256K read_rnd_buffer_size = 256K net_buffer_length = 2K thread_stack = 128K ----------------------------------------------- I re-installed mysql with yast. First removed mysql and mysql client with yast, then rebooted the server, and then reinstalled mysql with yast.....
What user runs the mysqld process? is that user allowed to write in /var/run/mysql/protected ? Code: ps flax | grep mysql grep mysql /etc/passwd ls -al /var/run/mysql/protected
