Hi All,
attempting another mysql install, on a 3rd machine. Extracted the tar.gz file to /usr/local/mysql. Followed the install docs here,
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/installing-binary.html
and successfully ran the MySql grant tables script,
6. If you haven't installed MySQL before, you must create the MySQL grant tables:
shell> scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
I then followed here,
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/automatic-start.html
to a T, and copied mysql.server to /etc/init.d, and just for good measure, gave it permission to execute,
chmod +x /etc/init.d/mysql
I then rebooted(I know it's not really required, but did it anyway), to see how things would go at boot, and saw a failed message for mysqld_safe,
Apr 16 21:20:01 localhost lsb_log_message: Can't execute ./bin/mysqld_safe failed
Can anyone explain why it wouldn't start..? Anything I should be looking for..? I can start the server with ./mysqld_safe from within the bin dir and I can connect as root or mysql. Cheers.
/etc/init.d/mysql permissions
[root@localhost init.d]# ls -lh mysql -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6.2K Apr 16 21:11 mysql
/var/log/mysqld.log doesn't show anything as I think it only logs errors once running. /var/boot.log only shows the same error seen at boot as does /var/log/boot.log.

What are the permissions on ./bin/mysqld_safe ?
Hi All,
I will double check when I get home tonight. I most certainly haven't changed any permissions for any files in the mysql dir. Still, doesn't hurt to look. The script works fine on my work machine. Same setup. Cheers.
