effigy Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 when redhat was installed, was the prepackaged mysql installed with it? usually this happens and it is set to run at startup, so when you try to run your installed version there is a problem. if you are unsure run: ps -aef | grep mysql also check the hostname.err file in the mysql data directory to attempt to gain more information on the problem.

jacsmith510 Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 Dear Effigy, thanks much for your post. You are correct, the mysql was prepackaged when red hat linux 9.0 was installed. When I attempted to install mysql again, the error message stated mysqld was unable to connect to mysql.sock, unable to find host.frm and when I check mysqldadmin status, the error message states: mysqld dead but subsys locked. I checked # ps -aef|grep mysql the resullts were the following: root 5761 5664 0 11:04 pts/0 00:0The local0:00 grep mysql Question: Is ther a way I can safely uninstall everything and do a fresh installl either binary 4.0 or redhat package? Please let me know any suggestions and thanks again Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/1050-mysql-install-error-mysqld-dead-but-susbsys-locked/#findComment-3572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacsmith510 Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 Dear Effigy, thanks much for your support. I followed your suggestion, searched for all datadirs, unistalled the prior package, deleted the var/lib/mysq, var/log/mysqld.log files and the var/lock/subsys/mysql directories. I installed a binary 4.0 distribution for linux ,I unpacked the files into the usr/local/mysql, changed the persmissions, started and stopped the mysqld dameon so far without error. Thanks again for your invaluable posts and this Fourm!!
