Hello!

I am NOT familiar with MySQL, so I try to use the dumb-people-method of
installing the packet from Slackware 9.1, enabling the rc.mysql in pkgtool
/ Setup / Services option, or, executing "# /etc/rc.d/rc.mysql start"
manually.

I always ends up like this:
--- Quote Start ---
bash-2.05b# /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld start
bash-2.05b# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
040711 12:57:43 mysqld ended


bash-2.05b#
--- Quote End ---

Maybe the problem is a missing MySQL Database (Who can tell, there is no
more output, and I couldn't find a corresponding log file)...
.... but I wanted to create a Database from within an external application
like Prokyon3 (http://prokyon3.sf.net).

I also run mysql_install_db (seemingly) succesfully, but no chance to run
mysqld without having it shut down immediatly.

Any ideas, if there is a short fix on this problem? I'm "studying" a mysql
tutorial or howto, but this will also take a lot of time.

Thanks in advance for replies!

Hello, problem is solved by google'ing in the history of this group! There
was the same problem, just I had to use the wrong key words on my first
search.

The problem seems to be solved.

Check ownership of /var/lib/mysql. It should be mysql:mysql.

Easy way to make sure, as root:

chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql

There are instructions in /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld for first-time running.

run "mysql_install_db" to setup the database, then run "cd
/var/lib/mysql/;chown mysql:mysql * -R" so the permissions are set
correctly. from here "mysqld_safe &" runs perfectly for me (slack10).
