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:

Starting Mysql As Root User On Linux
I have created a user called mysql to administer the mysql installation. I can run mysqld_safe as the mysql user without any problems, however, when I try to run it as the root user with --user=mysql the process does not start and the following error message appears in the error log. 040706 17:03:06 mysqld started Fatal error: Can't change to run as user 'mysql' ; Please check that the user exists! 040706 17:03:06 Aborting The user does exist, does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong?
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
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 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?
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?

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?

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.

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 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.
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.
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?
Mysql Not Starting After VPS Server Reboot

I'm ruinning Windows XP.
Mysql Nt Service Stopped Starting After 2 Years
i have been running mysql on windows server 2003 for the last almost 2 years (its a really early version of mysql 4 anyway) but now all of a sudden mysql service stopped starting, i can go to services, press start and then refresh and its off again! i have a feeling that someone deleted the core mysql table (mysql) as it is now totally empty. im not too good with my sql as i generally use mssql or whatever, infact mysql never really installed properly, the only user i could ever use was root but i didnt mind this so i just left it and it was fine for 2 years but now its just stopped all of a sudden and i cant get it back on. i have enabled the mssql php exension as a backup system but i cant transfer any databases across without enabling mysql.. but it wont turn on! i tried several exes in e:mysqlin but none got it on (well one of them made the little winmysqladmin light go on for half a second)
Mysql -u Root?
If I type mysql -u root mysql, I have the message: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) If I type mysql -u root -p mysql, MySQL prompts me for the password. Is that normal? Shouldn't I provide my password in the command line?

Mysql As A Service And Root Password (-w W)
I have a few qeustions for some linux/mysql pros in here. Background: I've just built MySQL on Mandrake Linux 9.1 from source. I can get the mysql service running my: shell> /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql & but I don't know how to keep it running, or how to make it start at every bootup. How do I do that? Also, I've made an alias to mysql: alias=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql but it won't span sessions, I think I need to export it, but I'm not sure how to. Also, via mysqladmin I set the root password to "password" which I don't want to keep :) how do I got about changeing it now? Thanks so much for your help. I know I probably should have installed via RPM, but I'm wanting to learn as much as I can about all of this.
Even Root Cannot Connect To Database 'mysql'
The version of my mysql server is 3.23.58. Before hand, everything works fine. However, when I connect to the data server sit in host 'A' from host 'B' by jdbc. As mysql's user table denied the access from host 'B', I know when attribute 'host' in table 'user' is set to '%' will fix the problem, However, I set it graphically from phpmyadmin. After setting, the direct result is I cannot connect to any databases in this server@A even from A the error msg is: ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'mysql'. By googling, I copied the 'user.frm', 'user.MYD', 'user.MYI' from another host to the corresponding path in host A and restart mysqld. It doesn't work. Then, I tried 'mysql_install_db', gone in vain either. It cost me nearly 2 whole days . I have many important databases stored in this server, I am afraind the install of a new one will bring more problems. Any suggestions, or ideas?

NTFS Securities For MySQL Root
I have is, what is the tightest security I can setup for the MySQL directory? Is there much risk in leaving it open with the default "Everyone" having full control? I am not sure I understand why this is the default, but anyway... I am running Windows 2000 Adavanced Server SP4 (NTFS) IIS 5.0 My application for MySQL is currently just forums (PHPBB2). It uses the MySQL database to store all data. In the future, I want to create dynamic webforms using PHP, and interface to the MySQL database from a webpage. How do I need to setup NTFS to have the tighest security possible on the web, while allowing me to preform these functions? Which directories in the MySQL root need read/write/modify access? My current feeling is to remove "Everyone" from the MySQL root on down. Then add administrators with full control, and IUSR_server_name with read/write access. Do I need execute? Is write access even neccisarry? Am I correct in understanding that everything within IIS uses the IUSR_server_name account to access these resources?
Mysql -s -u Root Bmd < Db.dump2 Slow
I've been sent a dump of a database and am trying to restore it with the command in the subject line. It's progressing, but very slowly. The problem is that the database is 40GB.

Is this the case and is there any way round the problem and slurp the the whole thing in isolation.

Installing Mysql As User, NOT Root
I've had to install mysql as a regular user, and not as root. Before it was so simple since I was root but now I am on someone else's server. I downloaded a non-RPM Standard5.0.19 binary. I untarred it and blindy tried to start it and of course got a number of errors. I found that mysql 4.1.12 was already running. I took a look at http://lists.mysql.org/mysql/42514 and decided to make some changes: - uid - TCP port - socket file - basedir - datadir In mysql.server (in support-files) I changed the basedir and datadir to (/apps/myaccount is my home acct) /apps/myaccount/base and /apps/myaccount/data, but as the above listed post mentioned, I also need to change 3 other things. I need to put everything into my home account, so how should I change the uid, the tcp port, and the socket file?
