I recently installed and experimented with RHEL6 beta 2. I've been having
trouble getting MySQL to start from its init script. I'm not sure I have
enough information to file a bug report yet, as I might have done something
wrong in setting it up (I'm more familiar with Debian/Ubuntu, and on RHEL4
I used XAMPP rather than the RedHat MySQL package). However, here are the
symptoms of my problem:
With the stock init script, I just get "Starting MySQL server ...
[FAILED]".
Running
mysqld_safe --user=mysql
as root starts the server, with the following output; "/etc/init.d/mysqld
stop" in a different terminal stops it fine:
101019 19:14:35 mysqld_safe Logging to '/var/log/mysqld.log'.
101019 19:14:35 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases
from /var/lib/mysql
I edited the init-script to not send the output of "mysqld_safe"
to /dev/null, and now this is what I get when I run it:
101019 19:20:36 mysqld_safe Logging to '/var/log/mysqld.log'.
mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/lib/mysql': File exists
chown: cannot access `/var/lib/mysql': Permission denied
chmod: cannot access `/var/lib/mysql': Permission denied
101019 19:20:36 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases
from /var/lib/mysql
rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock': Permission denied
101019 19:20:37 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
ended
Has anyone else seen this kind of problem?
I also have installed Oracle 11g on RHEL6 beta. It's a headless system
(accessing by SSH+X11 from another system), but the installer runs
"xdpyinfo", so I had to install package "xorg-x11-utils" and the libraries
it depends on. It also took me a while to figure out why "tnsping" worked
locally but not from another host. It was the firewall, of course, which I
fixed by editing "/etc/sysconfig/iptables"; a comment in that file says it
was written by "system-config-firewall", but no such program is installed;
I guess "system-config-firewall-tui" is the equivalent for such a setup.
