MySQL Setup

[Stephen Connellee]

Attempting to use the Stock version of MySQL on an lli system, but it keeps giving me the "mysqld ended" message. This is after having followed ALL the steps included in the documentation. All files have owner root (except /opt/mysql/var) and a group of mysql. I cannot for the life of me figure out what the problem is with this thing. Can anyone give me some advice on how to get MySQL to actually run on this system?

Thanks

Stephen,

Thanks for joining the forums.

If I had the answer, I'd happily supply it. :) You may have more luck in the Linux forum; I'm guessing they're more likely to be working with MySQL.

I installed into hpux11.0.
look at file /opt/mysql/share/mysql/mysql.server.
In it you have these VARs
datadir=/opt/mysql/var
(This is where the datafiles go.)

basedir=/opt/mysql
pid_file=/opt/mysql/var/.pid

start: mysql.server start
stop: mysql.server stop

mysql --help will give you syntax.

Nevermind, I figured it out. I completely forgot that I had Netbackup Advanced Reporter running on the same box, which then uses a MySQL database on the same port as the regular MySQL daemons. Of course it doesn't show a process for MySQL, which is where it got confusing.

Thanks to those that replied!
