Hi there I have just installed 'The Perfect Setup - Mandriva 2006 Free Edition' however when I go to start mysqld it returns 'Timeout eror occured trying to start MySQL Daemon' What have I done wrong please Regards
Do you see any errros in your mysql log in /var/log/mysql or sth. like that (depending on your distribution)? Can you post you /etc/my.cnf?
my.cnf Mant thanks for your reply Ben The my.cnf file reads:- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock #Default to using old password format for compatibility with old and #shorter password hash. #Reference: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/password_hashing.html old_passwords=1 [mysql.server] user=mysql basedir=/var/lib [mysqld_safe] err-log=/var/log/mysqld/mysqld.log pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Done Many thanks for your replies. I took a leaf out of 'Richard - April 17' thread on the self same problem and reinstalled. Had to do it twice but third time lucky and it worked. I was able to complete the full installation and ISPConfig. I now have to get it all working so don't go away, you have a 60 year old here on a mission. Regards Cougar105
