snorky Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Using a Sun Cobalt Raq3 running a modified Red Hat 6.2., kernel-2.2.16C32_III-2 I just installed MySQL. I had to reboot the web server (not related to MySQL) and the daemon won\'t start. 1. How to I make the daemon start automatically when the server boots up? 2. what is going wrong when I try to start it manually? Here\'s what the error log says: 030930 14:47:18 mysqld started 030930 14:47:18 Can\'t start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied 030930 14:47:18 Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ? 030930 14:47:18 Aborting 030930 14:47:18 /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete 030930 14:47:18 mysqld ended I\'m logged in as (Linux) root. If I try to start the daemon logged on as (Linux user) admin, then nothing is wriiten to the log; all errors appear on screen and say \"permission denied\" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effigy Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 1. /etc/rc.d/rc#.d # being the run level of the machine--which, if you are unsure, can be found in /etc/inittab. you should find the number within the first uncommented line. in the /etc/rc.d/rc#.d directory you place a symbolic link to the mysqld script in the /etc/init.d directory via ln -s source target. if redhat was prepacked with mysql you probably already have a file there and it is starting that version, which is your problem. try to see if it is already running by: ps -aef | grep mysql Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
