I can't get through
I am doing as follow. Is it right or I am doing something wrong?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] parminder]#
/usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/mysql.server stop
Killing mysqld with pid 31796
Wait for mysqld to exit\c
done
I can't use mysqld
[EMAIL PROTECTED] parminder]# /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld
--skip-grant-tables
Fatal error: Please read "Security" section of the manual to
find out how to run mysqld as root!
031029 18:10:34 Aborting
031029 18:10:34 /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown
Complete
But when i use mysqld_safe session never finishes. Any way mysql server
is started. I have to close the console and start it again.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] parminder]# /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe
--skip-grant-tables
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/var
I can't find what is going wrong
