Mysql5 will not run on my Neveda build 79 system. Not sure where customers are supposed to find out about how to get it running?
I tried to start mysql5 using svcadm enable. Not sure if there is a getting started doc, but I basically found dir /usr/mysql/5.0/bin and executed mysql_install_db from there. That created the mysql dir and files under /var/mysql/5.0/data/ However; # svcs -x svc:/application/database/mysql:version_50 (MySQL RDBMS) State: maintenance since January 16, 2008 6:48:05 PM PST Reason: Start method exited with $SMF_EXIT_ERR_CONFIG. See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-KS See: MySQL 5.0.45(1) See: http://dev.mysql.com/docs See: /var/svc/log/application-database-mysql:version_50.log Impact: This service is not running. zbit:/var/mysql/5.0# cat /var/svc/log/application-database-mysql:version_50.log [ Dec 5 17:53:22 Disabled. ] [ Dec 5 17:53:22 Rereading configuration. ] [ Jan 16 18:48:05 Enabled. ] [ Jan 16 18:48:05 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/mysql start"). ] mysql/data directory /var/mysql/5.0/data is not a valid MySQL data directory <<<=== *** [ Jan 16 18:48:05 Method "start" exited with status 96. ] So I notice that the data dir, and all files in it are owned by root. is that correct? I did try a chown -R mysql:mysql in that dir to see if it helps, but I get the same error while trying to start mysqld. What am I overlooking, and where is the doc for the proper way to configure and start mysql specific to our Solaris layout? Thanks, Neal
