Hi, this is my first time installing the MySQL server. I have built and installed the databases/mysql60-server via the FreeBSD ports system (using default configuration options). But let me discuss my installation procedure, adopted from the manual:
The mysql group and user are already added by the port. I copy /usr/local/share/my-medium.cnf to /etc/my.cnf. I run: cd /usr/local/mysql; chown -R mysql .; chgrp -R mysql . I then execute mysql_install_db --user=mysql; this prints "Install MySQL system tables..." but nothing more. When I run ps aux | grep mysql to see what has happened, I see two processes: root 6070 0.0 0.1 3464 1520 p0 I+ 3:40PM 0:00.01 /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/mysql_install_db --force --user=mysql mysql 6084 0.0 0.5 68060 9840 p0 I+ 3:40PM 0:00.03 /usr/local/libexec/mysqld --bootstrap --basedir=/usr/local --datadir=/var/db/mysql --log-warnings=0 --loose-skip-innodb --loose-skip-ndbcluster --user=mysql --max_allowed_packet=8M --net_buffer_length=16K If I try to kill with ctr-c, nothing happens (probably is ignored by mysqld, but wait for that). If I run kill PID, where PID is the process ID of mysql_install_db, it exits. I have subsequently run cd /var/db/mysql; chown -R mysql .; chgrp -R mysql ., to see if a permissions issue was at play, but I have the same problem. If anyone has a guess as to what I've done wrong, I'd love to hear! -- Ned Ruggeri -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
