hi... i'm trying to run mysql on a fedora core 5, system to allow the log bin files to be created.
i have the following my.cnf file: ----------------------------------- [mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock max_connections=3 #log-error = /var/log/mysql_err.log #set-variable = log=/var/log/mysql_query.log log-bin = /var/log/mysql/mysql_bin.log #set-variable = log-slow-queries=/var/log/mysql_slow.log # Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x # clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package). old_passwords=1 [mysql.server] user=mysql #basedir=/var/lib basedir=/usr [mysqld_safe] err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid ------------------------------------------ when i run /etc/init.d/mysql start, it dies, and i get an error stating that the mysql_bin.index isn't found: (the mysqld.log file) 071208 11:09:25 mysqld started /usr/libexec/mysqld: File '/var/log/mysql/mysql_bin.index' not found (Errcode: 13) 071208 11:09:25 [ERROR] Aborting if i comment out the log-bin line in the my.cnf file, mysql starts/runs, but i don't get the log bin files. if i run mysqld-safe --log-bin, it apparently creates the log bin files... i can't find the error that i see above when i search the 'net... basically, i'm looking to be able to test using the log bin files for backup purposes. any thought/ideas... thanks -tom -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
