LinuxQuestions.org - Help starting mysql 5 for first time

I start mysql with

Code:

 ./mysqld_safe 

120220 14:21:52 mysqld_safe Logging to '/var/log/mysql/mysqld.log'.

120220 14:21:52 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql

120220 14:21:52 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /var/lib/mysql/linux-dhj2.site.pid ended

here is a listing of my.conf

Code:

 Example MySQL config file for medium systems.

#

# This is for a system with little memory (32M - 64M) where MySQL plays

# an important part, or systems up to 128M where MySQL is used together with

# other programs (such as a web server)

#

# MySQL programs look for option files in a set of

# locations which depend on the deployment platform.

# You can copy this option file to one of those

# locations. For information about these locations, see:

# http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/option-files.html

#

# In this file, you can use all long options that a program supports.

# If you want to know which options a program supports, run the program

# with the "--help" option.



# The following options will be passed to all MySQL clients

[client]

#password        = your_password

port                = 3306

socket                = /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock



# Here follows entries for some specific programs



# The MySQL server

# Don't listen on a TCP/IP port at all. This can be a security enhancement,

# if all processes that need to connect to mysqld run on the same host.

# All interaction with mysqld must be made via Unix sockets or named pipes.

# Note that using this option without enabling named pipes on Windows

# (via the "enable-named-pipe" option) will render mysqld useless!

# Replication Master Server (default)

# binary logging is required for replication

log-bin=mysql-bin



# binary logging format - mixed recommended

binlog_format=mixed



# required unique id between 1 and 2^32 - 1

# defaults to 1 if master-host is not set

# but will not function as a master if omitted

server-id        = 1



# Replication Slave (comment out master section to use this)

#

# To configure this host as a replication slave, you can choose between

# two methods :

#

# 1) Use the CHANGE MASTER TO command (fully described in our manual) -

#    the syntax is:

#

#    CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST=<host>, MASTER_PORT=<port>,

#    MASTER_USER=<user>, MASTER_PASSWORD=<password> ;

#

#    where you replace <host>, <user>, <password> by quoted strings and

#    <port> by the master's port number (3306 by default).

#

#    Example:

#

#    CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='125.564.12.1', MASTER_PORT=3306,

#    MASTER_USER='joe', MASTER_PASSWORD='secret';

#

# OR

#

# 2) Set the variables below. However, in case you choose this method, then

#    start replication for the first time (even unsuccessfully, for example

#    if you mistyped the password in master-password and the slave fails to

#    connect), the slave will create a master.info file, and any later

#    change in this file to the variables' values below will be ignored and

#    overridden by the content of the master.info file, unless you shutdown

#    the slave server, delete master.info and restart the slaver server.

#    For that reason, you may want to leave the lines below untouched

#    (commented) and instead use CHANGE MASTER TO (see above)

#

# required unique id between 2 and 2^32 - 1

# (and different from the master)

# defaults to 2 if master-host is set

# but will not function as a slave if omitted

#server-id      = 2

#

# The replication master for this slave - required

#master-host    =  <hostname>

#

# The username the slave will use for authentication when connecting

# to the master - required

#master-user    =  <username>

#

# The password the slave will authenticate with when connecting to

# the master - required

#master-password =  <password>

#

# The port the master is listening on.

# optional - defaults to 3306

#master-port    =  <port>

#

# binary logging - not required for slaves, but recommended

#log-bin=mysql-bin
