How to overcome the RPM "mysql-5.0.27-1.fc6" conflict with mysql database starting
Hi,
I am having problem with mysql starting today in linux fedora core 6, i installed some RPMs from the net for skype installation, i think i am facing the problem after that installation.
I tried starting mysql from /usr/local, the location where i installed mysql
but after executing this command " bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &"
Its coming like mysql is starting from /var/lib/mysql, which i never mentioned
and message coming like "STOPPING server from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid"
But there is no directory named mysqld or file mysqld.pid in /var/run location.
I posted a thread in this discussion forum and got the reply as
“Chances are something has overwritten your /etc/my.cnf file. You may want to check and re-edit it. You can also check to see if there is a copy left behind with a .rpmsave extension.
You should also use 'rpm -qf /etc/my.cnf' to check if there is an RPM that owns the replaced file, as it may have added other items that are going to cause you problems.”
As per the reply, i executed the command “ rpm -qf /etc/my.cnf” .The rpm “mysql-5.0.27-1.fc6” is displayed.
Can u please guide me what i need to do further,shall i need to delete that rpm or how can i continue with the mysql without conflict.
And also i checked for a file named my.cnf in my /etc/ folder, the file is exist there, but before that i am not having that my.conf file, so i removed that file and tried starting mysql, then its coming like
[root@localhost mysql1]# bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
[1] 3695
[root@localhost mysql1]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql1/data
STOPPING server from pid file /usr/local/mysql1/data/localhost.localdomain.pid
071022 13:01:09 mysqld ended
Thank you
Best Regards
Kamakshi
