MYSQL :: Just Starting

Starting MYSQL On A Mac
I feel quite stupid I cannot seem to get MYSQL to even run on my Mac (OS X 10.4)

I have installed MYSQL and then went to terminal and entered

cd /usr/local/mysql

then

sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe

then my password as prompted

which is followed by

Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data

- at this point as it just seems to stop

What next? I have tried entering mysql -u grifkerry -p but nothing happens! I have left it for a while but still nothing.

Starting MySQL
I need to transfer a database from one computer to another. Both computers are Macintoshes running OS X Panther. Both computers are running MySQL through localhost. The computer to which I am transferring the database has MySQL up and running perfectly fine.

The computer from which I want to get the database is able to query the database through a web application using Perl but when I try to run MySQL from the Unix command line using the following text: "mysql -h localhost -u root -p" I get the following response "-sh: mysql: command not found."

As far as I know, MySQL is installed correctly on this machine (I would assume it has to be in order for the web application to access the database through Perl and MySQL). If I can start and run MySQL, I know that I can dump the database using the "mysqldump" command. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I need to do to get the mysql command to execute correctly so that I can run the program?

Starting Mysql
im a complete novice regarding mysql

im am trying to start mysql with

c:
et start mysql

and get the system error 1067

Starting The Server
I've had my Instance starting whenever I startup my computer, which was working fine, until now. Every time I try to start it from the MySQL Administrator. I've tried to start the sertvice and It just goes right back to stopped and gived the log message, "Trying to start the server ...

Server could not be started." How can I start the instance or find out what's going wrong?

Starting Problem
I run Windows XP, Apache 2.0.54 (these are working fine), and have just installed MySQL 4.1. And i want to say I have the checked the included manual for clues, to why MySQL won't start on this machine. I get this error message when trying to start the server with:

C:ProgramMySQLMySQL Server 4.1in>mysqld --console
InnoDB: Error: log file .ib_logfile0 is of different size 0 10485760 bytes
InnoDB: than specified in the .cnf file 0 5242880 bytes!

050714 9:39:51 [ERROR] Aborting

050714 9:39:51 [Note] mysqld: Shutdown complete

----

Where do i find the .cnf-file that is mentioned?

Starting Mysql
I used to have an older version of Mysql (4.0) that I started by starting
Winmysqladmin. Now I replaced this with the newest version: 4.1.12 and that
doesn't have Winmysqladmin. After some experimentation I found out that
MYSQLD.EXE seems to start mysql. I can then use phpMyAdmin.

However, my own application still does not work (I can log in, but my
queries give no results). A possible explanation is that I selected the
UTF-8 fontset.

I would like to have advice of what causes this problem and how I can solve
this. I a using Windows ME.

Starting Up - Mysql_send.php
I've gotten to the point in the book where it tells me to configure mysql_send.php. It wants me to put in the host name, user name, and password.

Now, when I set up MySQL, I had the host as "localhost", and set up a simple username and password. I set this up on my desktop. My questions are:

1. Which host does this refer to - my computer or the server where my website is? Which is the correct entry?

2. Same question on the username and password - what is it referring to? website or my computer?

I started making tables of my data. I have a very basic idea of the fields, but when I complete a table, I get an error message when it executes the command to make the table. What is this about?

Starting Mysql
I am using window xp, I installed mysql 4.0 and it was working fine.
last week, I uninstalled mysql 4.0 and install 4.1 and it's no longer starting.

before, error message said, "mysql failed start, wait 30 then try again"
then I messed around with it. the error message is gone

right now, it doesn't start, it doesn't give me any error message and I can't even get mysql 4.0 working.

Mysql Not Starting
I had to reload mysql 4.0.17 on to a Fedora Core machine that was previously
working in the same configuration. Now though I can't get the server to run
with the either of the following commands:

../mysql.server start - the command line reappears with no error but no
running process in the system monitor
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe -user=mysql - this command does not return
to the command prompt so when I hit the enter key I get "Starting mysqld
daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 0404124 00:13:21 mysqld ended.

It looks to me as if it attempts to start but fails with no error. What am I
missing on the reinstall?

Autoincrement Starting Value
i am using PHPmyAdmin to manage the mySQL data base, i was wondering how to change the auto increment initial starting point.

if i want to generate an Auto number in Alpha Numeric, is there any sort of option in database ?

Starting Mysql
This may be a very simple question and possibly could have a very simple
solution to it.Since I have been using mysql for less than 2 months,I
still consider myself a newbie.I still cannot execute certain
commands from my dos prompt, but I can run queries easily using
phpmyadmin.I have purchased MYSQL Second Edition (Paul Dubois) so I
hope to put it to good use soon.

The question that is of concern to me this morning is the prefered way
to start mysql.I seem to think that I always have a problem because
when I start my PC,mysql is already running as a service.But I am
thinking that because I login to my PC as any user other than the dbase
username,I have a problem afterwards.

Must I always log on to my PC (Win2K) as the same user as the created
user in my DBase in order for mysql to run properly?

Instance Not Re-Starting
I have a single instance of mysql running on my PC (Windows XP Prof.). I wanted to stop the service from running momentarily, and I did. However, now the service will not start even after rebooting and trying to start the instance manually.

Mysqldaemon Not Starting
I am this error while running mysqld_safe

Starting Mysql 5.0.18
I type in the password and mysql closes. When I reinstall it as an anonymous user mysql asks me to type in my password. I've reinstalled the program a few times. I tried to reset the root password. None of these things work. I also saw that I have a file called prod.err. I open up the file and I see a bunch of stuff that I don't understand. I greatly appreciate anyone who could help me solve this problem. I've run out of ideas.

Error On Starting
when i go to the command command prompt and change to the: c:program filesmysqlin folder and try to start mysqld --standalone i get an error. This is what im seeing:

C:Program FilesMySQLin>mysqld --standalone
050719 3:59:20 [ERROR] Can't find messagefile 'c:program filesmysqlmysql server 4.1shareenglisherrmsg.sys'
050719 3:59:20 [ERROR] Aborting

Now i see its trying to open errmsg.sys in the directory:
program filesmysqlmysql server 4.1shareenglish
but there's no "mysql server 4.1" folder because its all in the mysql folder. How can i fix this? Is there a way to let it search in the proper directory?

Auto_Increment Starting Value
For a table I'm creating, I want the auto_increment primary key to start at zero. I know that I can put auto_increment = <number> at the end of the query to make it start at that number, but it doesn't work for zero. Is there any way to make it do this?

I should probably mention something I already tried that didn't work. I tried creating the table and not making the column auto_increment. I added the first row with a value of zero, then changed the column to auto_increment, but unfortunately this automatically changed the value to a 1.

Starting MySQL
I have a strange problem with mysql start. In normal procedure I do not see any problem.
I have my product patch (a tar file) and when I try to untar this under /tmp directory and try to start MySQL, it is not getting started. The tar file has following files extracted to /tmp folder
1. install
2. clearevents.sh
3. ClearEvents.class
4. README.txt
5. cleareventscron.txt

If I extract this tar file to some other folder, say /test, I do not see any problem in starting the SQL.Is there any conflict with the file names which I am using here?
Some one please help me in clarifying this issue.

Create A Query Starting From A Value
I would like to know how to create a query which will return a certain number of rows from a database, starting from a particular key value. Something like

SELECT * FROM users STARTING FROM id=7 ORDER BY name LIMIT 5

Does something that does this exist?

I can't use WHERE id>7 because I am sorting on a different field and so the id field is unsorted.

Starting Query Browser
i installed mysql server 5.0 and other GUI components and the connector.in windows XP from the start menu i click my sql query browser and the dialogue box appears asking the host ,username and password and giving the port 3306(already filled in)i give localhost and the password which i gave during installation ,and an error comes saying mysql error 1045:access denied for user ODBC@localhost.

Mysql Server Not Starting
I installed mysql on a Mac OSX 1.3.9. It worked and ran with no problems. The machine was restarted and mysql will no longer start up. I have tried everything and nothing works. If I look at the logs it basically tells me that mysql starts and then shuts itself off.

Starting Mysql With Mysqld
i'm trying to change the mysql data path. to do this, i have to shoot down mysql and restart it. i tryed to restart mysql with the program mysqld (i'm using windows xp, mysql server 5.0), but it doesn't work. why? is there any different way to start mysql? there was no error message or something like this. if i start it with mysqld --standalone, it works, but the command window doesn't replay anymore.

Starting In Binary Mode
I have installed mysql 5.1 onto one of our Redhat Enterprise 3 test boxes. Theres nothing particularly important on the box as far as I am aware.

Anyhow I stopped the server yesterday, with the idea of starting it in Binary Mode. I am looking into how we can do the backups for the system. Since we are due to inherit some mysql databases to look after. Code:

Starting Mysql Server
I installed mysql with apache but after a while mysql stoped starting. I even reinstalled both mysql and apache but still i can not start mysql. could any one tell me how to fix this problem.

MySQL Slow Starting Up
I am using a Windows 2003 Web Edition Server running IIS and MySQL 4.1. I had to restart the server the other day and it took MySQL almost 2 hours to come back up. I was watching it on my task manager and it went up to approximately 60,000k in 10k increments before I was able to access MySQL.

My CPU usage was hovering around 3% all this time. Everything else came up on the server just fine. This happens every time I have to restart my server. The reason I have to restart my server most of the time, is because MySQL locks up on me.

Is there any settings I can change that would help me here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One more thing to add. I am using the default my.ini file. We have almost 100 different databases on the server and have around 20000 tables within all of these databases combined. All of these tables are InnoDB tables.

Starting MS SQL - Adding DB's
I just installed MS SQL Server 2005. I don't know where to start. Could someone please help me with setting up my first database, or maybe point me to a good website with tutorials.

Auto-increment Starting Value

member_id int unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment

Starting MySQL Initially
I am just starting to work with MySQL and I have it installed on a separae PC at my home as well. I downloaded and installed it, MySQL Administrator and the query analyzer as well. But I need to know how to create an initial database or does mysql come with a default database?

I am asking because I tried to get in throughthe MySQL Administrator and it prompted for a database name initially that it can be linked to, but I realized there were no databases created. How can I create an initial database or is there some sort of utility window that comes with the MySQL download that I can access the database with? BTW, this is installed on Windows OS.

Httpd Starting Error
Im using Mysql 5.0.27. When I start the httpd server I get the following error

Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 190 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_auth_mysql.so into server: libmysqlclient.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Starting Binary Logging
I want to start binary logging, but can't seem to get it working!
I have put:

[mysqld]
log-bin

into my.cnf which MySQL appears to be using.I can't see anything else in the manual or internet which mentions anything else I required to do - am I just missing something?I am using clean installs of Win2003 and MySQL 5.0.18. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am totally stuck until I can sort this out.

Starting On Local Drive
I've a reasonably large site, about 300 static html files and including half a dozen pages indexing them for users under different categories, that I'm considering converting to php4 and mysql. My domain is hosted by Earthlink. I've seen instructions for building a database from the command prompt, but I doubt Earthlink allows command-line access to the server. I've seen instructions for using php to build a database; it sounds fine for adding new records but a nightmare for creating the large database I'd need just to begin. Can I create a database locally and ftp to the server everything I need? Obviously it'd be easier still if I could create it in Access and migrate, which I'm trying to learn about as well, but I don't see the ftp question covered.

Trouble Starting Server
I have no experience with mySQL whatsoever and I just installed it on my linux box using the documentation on the mySQL site.

When I used the command:

Starting Fresh With Mysql >> Dadabik
I have an Excel spreadsheet which has been my source document for the past several years for a collection I own. It has about 2000 entries (records) and each record has ~20 fields. Photographs of each item in the database are an integral part of this.
What I'd like to do is move all of this knowledge onto the web in database fashion and provide a means to allow users to search the database.
I found DaDaBIK which seems to be perfect for the show and tell phase of my project, but I need to create the database properly first.
I can make a mysql database with my hosting account, but I don't know where to start. I know databases can be tricky; at least what I know of Access is tricky, so I want to do this right.

I'm looking for help, maybe a simple tutorial, that will guide me through the process of transforming my Excel data and photos into a mysql database online.

I have googled for this, but there are so many articles, and it is all over my head anyway.

Retrieve Results Starting With Number
if I want to retrieve records starting with the letter A, I could do "WHERE field LIKE 'a%'"

But what would I do to retrieve all results starting with anything *but* letters?

Starting MySQL 5.0.1 Server Up Problem...
I shutdown my MySQL server using MySQL Administrator 1.0. My problem is that i dont know how to start up the MySQL Server again. I tried to run mysqld-nt.exe by double clicking it but my server will not be up. If i restart my computer then thats the time my MySQL server will be up. Unlike MySQL 4.0.22 if i double click on winmysqladmin.exe my server will be up.

Is there a way to put the server up without restarting my computer?

Search For Entries Starting With A Non-letter?
We're trying to make a search form, and are wanting to create links for
all the letters a person can click on and will bring up all entries
that start with that letter.

That part is easy:
.... WHERE field LIKE '$letter%'

But we'd like to also have one a person can click on for numbers and
punctuation.

Is there a built-in mySQL querey component where you can search for
entries in a column that start with a non-letter?

Properly Re-starting Replication Process
I've just tried to re-start a replication process and the slave's

there a table entry somewhere that flags crashed tables?) Here is the

Mysql Not Starting After VPS Server Reboot
I have a mysql db (Version: '4.0.22' FreeBSD port: mysql-server-4.0.22) running on an Verio VPS, and I am having an issue: After a power failure on Verio that meant restarted servers, etc, I saw that Mysql was not coming up.

I checked the logs / etc and I got this message on /var/db/mysql/<hostname>.err:

060925 00:15:53 mysqld started

There is no ./testperl/testab.db anywhere I can see, but OTOH, there should only be a few dbs and none of them is called testperl... Honestly, I have no idea of what might be hapening, but having the db is quite a PITA.

Problem Starting MySql From Root
I am in the process of creating a database which will serve as a backend for the registration of users' details and to handle account activation via the use of php scripts. I really need help with starting MySql. I have scoured various forums and followed instructions from the mysql.com, and other such tutorials.

I am creating the website using dreamweaver on a windows 2000 pc but I am planning to place it on the linux box where the apache web server will handle it (if you know what I mean). The linux server is where the php and Mysql are installed. Incidentally the php installation is located in the /etc directory - and it works.

I downloaded the Mysql binary file version 4.0.25 recently. Followed the installation instructions to the letter up to the change of ownership stuff. Code:

If I type in the correct password it lets me in, if I type in no passowrd it

incorrect?
