Bob,
Sorry for the delay, but I keep getting called away at this end (sigh!)
Let me get this straight:
1. You installed MySQL 2. You ran, as root, "mysql_install_db"
If you mean "su root " then yes
3. Then, as root, you created a root password for the server: ~ mysqladmin -u root password "my-password" (no quotes)
No when I tried to do this it came back with the no connect msg.
~ mysqladmin -u root -h linux password "my-password" (ditto)
- --> If you did the three steps, above, try this
4. Make sure the server is running from a fresh start:
(as root) rcmysql status -------------------------------------->running
When I did this it came back with unused.
rcmysql stop ---------------------------------------->done
when I did this it did come back with done.
rcmysql start --------------------------------------->done
when I did this it did come back with done.
- --> Now try this:
mysqladmin -u root -h linux -p extended-status
when I did this it said it failed and to check that it was running. I tried it again using localhost instead of linux and then I got the can't connect message.
- -> If it prompts you for your password, enter the one you created initially, in #3 above. If your password 'took', it should display an extended status report for the server.
Let me know the results, ok? I've gotta run, but I'll be back +/- 1 hour.

Carl you have been a great help. Do you have any idea how to find out why it did not start? Thanks Bob Rawlinson

su in a console to /var/lib/mysql and see if there's a mysqld.log and mysqld.log-20050216 or 17.gz (midnight commander "mc" can view these.) Let me know what you see.

Well it took a few minutes to find out how to use midnight commander. Then I found: 050215 16:15:04 mysqld started 050215 16:15:05 InnoDB: Started 050215 16:15:05 Fatal error: Can't open privelege tables: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13) 050215 16:15:05 Aborting 050215 16:15:05 InnoDB: Starting shutdown... 050215 16:15:08 InnoDB: Shutdown completed 050215 16:15:08 /usr/sbin/mysqld-max: Shutdown Complete I did a locate to see if I could find that file but it didn't seem to be on the system.

Yes! much better today - Thanks

I've had permission and group:owner errors on this one before. An installation that works has: /var/lib/mysql mysql:mysql drwx------ and under that: host.frm mysql:mysql -rw-rw---- Another installation that works has everything mysql:daemon Just trying to give another slant as I've been here myself.

Bob,
I know this sounds like a repeat, but in my post before last I had you confirm that you ran mysql_install_db. I'd like you to try the procedure "from scratch" as though you'd just installed the rpm(s) with YaST. The correct sequence (off the top of my head now -- please verify) was:
(all as root) mysql_install_db
I got the messages like you sent on a previous e-mail. This looked like everything was ok with no error messages.
rcmysql start
I got an indication of start which looked ok
rcmysql status
This gave me the unused message. Then I looked in the log for today and found the time I ran it. it again showed the error: Fatal error: Can't open privilege tables: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm ' (errno: 13) I also tryed the ls -l /var/lib/mysql that someone suggested and it returned: drwxr--xr-x 4 mysql daemon 296 2005-02-16 14:42 . drwxr--xr-x 32 root root 896 2005-02-16 04:19 .. However the host.frm file is not there.
mysqladmin -u root -p extended-status
I'm hoping you just misinterpreted what was happening at the start and can just repeat the entire procedure in the correct order to set it straight. Afterwards, if it doesn't work, check the logs in /var/lib/mysql for anything new. If it /does/ work it'll be time to move on to the next level.

It just seems that files are missing and do not get created if mysql_install_db is supposed to create them. Bob Rawlinson
