Databases :: MySql :: Getting MySQL to work in SuSE Linux 8.0
By: mikesapunk	Date: 05/02/2003 00:00:00	Points: 200	Status: Answered Quality : Excellent
I just installed SuSE 8.0 on my machine and I chose to install MySQL during setup. Now that Linux is up and running, I can't get MySQL to run. I ran mysql_install_db with no problems, but I can't get the database to start. safe_mysqld shuts down immediately after running it, mysqladmin says it can't find /tmp/mysql.sock. How else can I get it started?

the mysqld user has no right to write in /tmp, or /tmp does not exist? Check my.ini settings about datadir, basedir, temporary dir ([sessions]) etc should be easy. also check that no mysqld is already running ;-) ( "ps -aux\|more", as root)

Go into YaST and see if START_MYSQL="yes" or edit /etc/rc.config and check it there. If is is set to "no", change it to yes, then start mysql (as root): /etc/rc.d/mysql start Verify mysql is running (as root): ps -ef \| grep sql If that fails, check /var/log/messages and /var/lib/mysql/`hostname`.err to see what it tells you. I remember I had to chmod the socket. Mine are currently: srwxrwxrwx 1 mysql daemon 0 Jan 28 22:01 mysql.sock Cheers, George
