MySQL

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

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Are there any errors in your logs when this happens? What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

?

 

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.
