Can't start mysql




Posted by levani, 03-10-2010, 04:23 AM
I have issue concerning with mysql. I am trying to start it, but with failure. The error is below (error from webmin) But the mysql is probably installed because when I run the install command it says that mysql is already installed... Could you please help me, what is the problem? Last edited by levani; 03-10-2010 at 04:27 AM.

Usually that message is caused by a file being opened/saved or edited in Windows and then uploaded to a Linux server. My only guess at this point based upon your post (which doesn't provide much information) is to try to run this: dos2unix /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld Then try running /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld If that doesn't work maybe somebody else will have a suggestion.

Hi Levani, I would be inclined to agree with Mike's Comments regarding editing files from windows and uploading to Linux. Who configured your server? If it was you, what files did you manually edit and how did you edit them?

Thread moved from VPS Hosting forum to Security and Technology forum.

Yes, I agree with the others. The problem lies with bash having an issue try to execute the mysqld file. This does not indicate a problem with the mysql server itself.
