Hello,
I have recently installed MySql and I encourage an error.
I am using Fedora 15 and when I am trying to start mysqld service i am getting
the following error message:
Quote:
|
Starting mysqld (via systemctl): Job failed. See system logs and 'systemctl status' for details. [FAILED]
|
If I try to start it from Service Configuration GUI it fails too.
Checking the system logs it just says:
Quote:
Sep 27 11:49:11 mp054a systemd[1]: mysqld.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1
Sep 27 11:49:11 mp054a systemd[1]: Unit mysqld.service entered failed state.

If I try to type 'msql' from command line I am getting the following error
msg:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
|
I have read about the /etc/my.cnf file and I tried to edit it somehow
but with no success.
My /etc/my.cnf contains the following:
Quote:
[mysqld]
#datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
max_connections=125
table_cache=2500
thread_cache_size=100
thread_stack=250K
wait_timeout=10
join_buffer=5M
myisam_sort_buffer_size=15M
query_cache_size=15M
read_rnd_buffer_size=5M
default-character-set=utf8
default-collation=utf8_unicode_ci
character-set-server=utf8
collation-server=utf8_unicode_ci
[mysql.server]
user=mysql
#basedir=/var/lib
old-passwords = 1
[client]
default-character-set=utf8
[mysqld_safe]
err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
|
Note that I have commented datadir and basedir. That's because I had the same mysqld problem yesterday and I found online that if I comment them it might work.And indeed the problem solved.
But later I tried to install moodle and I had to make some changes to the permission of some folders over /var/ directory. I had to play a little bit and in the end I manage to figure permissions in such a way that moodle was working. (Note that permission changes have been made after I managed to start mysqld successfully).
Today when I power my computer on and tried to restart httpd and mysqld, the latter one failed.
If I uncomment datadir and basedir mysqld still fails to start.
If I do 'ls -la /var/lib' I am getting the following about mysql:

If I do 'ls -la /var/lib/mysql' I am getting the contents of mysql:

I have noticed that if I do 'ls -la /tmp/' I can see the following about mysql.sock:
Quote:
|
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 mysql mysql 25 Sep 26 03:13 mysql.sock -> /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
|
whereas I cannot find anything about mysql.sock on /var/lib/mysql
I tried to change socket to 'socket=/tmp/mysql.sock' in the my.cnf and
nothing changes.
I am not an expert user on linux. I hope the details I added above can
help you help me
I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advace!
