The meaning seems obvious enough; mysqld was unable to bind to the socket, which is what perror() meant with "Permission denied": 13 EACCES Permission denied. An attempt was made to access a file in a way forbidden by its file access permissions. Either /tmp was unwritable for mysqld due to not having 1777 perms, or /tmp/mysql.sock probably already existed but was owned by root and not the user mysqld runs as. Anyway, doesn't the mysql port want to keep the socket under /var/run/mysql/mysqld.sock or some such, to avoid issues with /tmp?

I read this: > 120114 9:39:04 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on > socket: /tmp/mysql.sock ? as "there is an existing socket that seems to be in use: what's up with that?" The message references a file that does not exist (but that mysql will cheerfully remove if found). There was no existing socket. Those two lines, taken together, tell me that a. mysql can't run without a socket and b. it thinks another process is running, bound to a socket that doesn't exist. Clear as mud. How about [ERROR] socket: /tmp/mysql.sock not found and/or [ERROR] socket:/tmp/mysql.sock could not be created perhaps with a helpful hint about permissions. If this was unusual, that would be one thing but I found quite a few references to the problem before I found the solution. Maybe it's a housekeeping thing but why would mysql need to destroy the file it uses for a socket and then recreate it when it could simply examine it and reuse it? > Anyway, doesn't the mysql port want to keep the socket under > /var/run/mysql/mysqld.sock or some such, to avoid issues with /tmp? Apparently not, as I commented out any reference to it in my.cnf and still saw the same messages about /tmp/mysql.sock.

Re: Solution for school lab just a thought
Hello all. Sergio. Would you mind to contact me offline (maybe some people in the list won't be interested) I help communities and non profit (very poor) organizations here and would like to know more about your schema and results. Here also we get "donattions" of hardware. The old 386 and so, computers that big companies do not use anymore and with that we have to work.

I agree. However, the related man pages didn't reference this option. This seems like a place where the code and docs could use a small patch to work this way on FreeBSD. (Or maybe it already works this way, and the docs don't reflect it). I suppose in my case, I could still move the config file to /usr/local/etc/ and then symlink it from /etc/, which would meet the requirements of the software, and also meet the expectations of someone expecting a standard FreeBSD layout. > Many thanks, Mark, this really sounds interesting and useful, > a very good combination. :-) You are welcome.
