Error connecting to MySQL

[zEitEr]

I've got an error:

Error connecting to MySQL: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

DA just recently installed on FreeBSD 5.3 server....


Logs:

I'm not sure if MySQL ever worked...

ssh:

# mysqld
mysqld: Command not found.
# locate mysqld

/usr/ports/www/zope-zmysqlda/pkg-plist

Is it ok?

What should I do?

Check /usr/local/mysql
Kill all processes of MySQL before trying to start. Restarting your server will also accomplish this.
Then try to access MySQL directly from the command line again. If it still can't find the mysqld command, locate the mysqld binary in the bin directory of mysql's installation directory.

Or if you don't have any data to lose, run MySQL's installation again. I think the script can be found in /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/
named mysql.sh or similar.

That's, what I've got now:

http://xxxx:2222/CMD_SYSTEM_INFO

Apache 1.3.33 Running
DirectAdmin Running
Exim 4.50 Running
MySQL 4.1.11 Running
Named 9.3.0 Running
ProFTPd 1.2.10 Running
sshd Running
vm-Pop3d 1.1.6 Running


# ps ax | grep mysql

and...

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysqld stop
Stopping mysqld: [ FAILED ]

It's running.... but I still have an error "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)"

#locate mysql.sock - shows nothing :(

What should I do? Please, help.

[jmstacey]

Did you try killing all the processes of mysql? If DirectAdmin is seeing MySQL as running, there are still mysql processes running around.

Use kill ;)

[zEitEr]

Oh, yes!

It worked!

I've killed all the processes of mysql.... and started again... now it's OK....


Thanks ;)

I had the same issue and this fixed it for me.

I attempted to stop mysql
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysqld stop

It failed.

Then I located a reference to a data file in a file called services.status in a mysql.sh script.
/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/mysql.sh
/usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/services.status

In that file there is a list of services and their status. (duh :rolleyes: )



directadmin=ON
exim=ON
httpd=ON
mysqld=ON
named=ON
proftpd=ON
sshd=ON
vm-pop3d=ON


I edited the file to say

mysqld=OFF


and attempted to stop mysql again. This time it worked. I then restarted mysql and was able to access the database.

If you don't change it back to ON, then DA will no longer manage MySQL for you.
