Hey guys, my first post here, hopefully if nobody minds I could really use some help!!!!

Ok, I'm trying to get MySQL running on my OBSD... everything seems fine, except I've seen everywhere on the net the problems with safe_mysqld and its seeming inability to work properly without some reconaissance (sp?). Anyways, I try to run safe_mysqld and it:

bash-2.05b# safe_mysqld
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/mysql
030126 01:34:20 mysqld ended

ends instantly. However, before a reinstal the safe_mysqld was locking me up completely, though I was still able to access mysql. However, root couldn't access.

Sorry about the jumbled email, I'm gettting a cold and fever from sitting in front of my PC for the past day trying to figure out this crapola. If anyone knows a good resource for installing mysql and getting it to work that would be awesome... or any tips/commands that I might try to get the daemon to run.

Thanks in advance guys. Have a wonderfull morning/day/evening!

Hey madman welcome. First things to check is /var/mysql/errorlog or whatever. Read it and post it up here. We'll get you squared away quickly.

OK its almost 900 lines cant page up that high, but hopefully the last logs might provide an answer... who knows, I've been working on this so long I could have dug quite the ditch...

ok so i rebooted... now Im getting locked up again, it seems its trying to start the daemon but never does... grr

[madman]

and the log says its started... break commands dont work, the lockup requires closing, as far as i can tell, anyone know a better solution?

do netstat -an and post the results also do ps aux|grep mysqld

I was seeing this on OS X> run safe_mysql with options for user and pass.

./safe_mysqld -user blah -p
