Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->ale Over to maintainer (via the GNATS Auto Assign Tool) Hm, this *might* be due to the USERS modification I wrote for the port. If you think it is please feel free to bounce the PR to me. Chris State Changed From-To: open->closed Use or look at the rc.d script. Is there a package message that indicates this change in initialization process? I did not see one. If not - then there should be one included with this port. I have been installing MySQL for years (BSD and Solaris) and have always had to perform the DB initialization process. Various MySQL manuals also describe the DB initialization process "as it used to be". |
a) apparent /var/db/mysql default directory not defined to installed MySQL mysql_install_db --user mysql FATAL ERROR: Could not find ./bin/my_print_defaults If you compiled from source, you need to run 'make install' to copy the software into the correct location ready for operation. If you are using a binary release, you must either be at the top level of the extracted archive, or pass the --basedir option pointing to that location. b) MySQL DB initialization fails [using explicit directory parms due to a)] mysql_install_db --user mysql --datadir=/var/db/mysql --ldata=/var/db/mysql --srcdir=/usr/ports/databases/mysql55-server/work/mysql-5.5.15 Installing MySQL system tables...

Examine the logs in /var/db/mysql for more information. You can try to start the mysqld daemon with: shell> /usr/ports/databases/mysql55-server/work/mysql-5.5.15/sql/mysqld --skip-grant & and use the command line tool /usr/ports/databases/mysql55-server/work/mysql-5.5.15/client/mysql to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables: shell> /usr/ports/databases/mysql55-server/work/mysql-5.5.15/client/mysql -u root mysql mysql> show tables Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log gives you a log in /var/db/mysql that may be helpful. Please consult the MySQL manual section 'Problems running mysql_install_db', and the manual section that describes problems on your OS. Another information source are the MySQL email archives available at http://lists.mysql.com/. Please check all of the above before mailing us! And remember, if you do mail us, you MUST use the /usr/ports/databases/mysql55-server/work/mysql-5.5.15/scripts/mysqlbug script! c) MySQL userid definitions grep mysql /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/passwd:mysql:*:88:88:MySQL Daemon:/var/db/mysql:/usr/sbin/nologin /etc/group:mysql:*:88: d) DB init creates two empty directories: /var/db/mysql/mysql /var/db/mysql/test
