Good morning folks -- Excuse the newbie question please, I am tired of banging my head on a wall here! I am trying to configure a mysql server to use data on a physically separate server, where the data directory is shared over an NFS link Every time I try to start the MySQL server, I get an error that says: 050713 11:00:09 mysqld started 050713 11:00:09 [Warning] Asked for 196608 thread stack, but got 126976 050713 11:00:09 [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use 050713 11:00:09 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ? 050713 11:00:09 [ERROR] Aborting 050713 11:00:09 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown complete 050713 11:00:09 mysqld ended I am trying to figure out how to tell if something is blocking or occupying the default MySQL port I do not have telnet installed, so the trick of telnet srvfs-01:3306 will not work I need to find out whats going on and blocking this port, as well, in a broader sense, I need to begin to develop some network troubleshooting tools for Linux, If someone can point me to the appropriate references etc, I would be most grateful Thanks TIM Timothy A.
