PostPosted: Thu Jul 21, 2005 4:31 pm    Post subject: MySQL Start errors Reply with quote

I just emerged mysql 4.0.25-r2, ran ebuild /var/db/pkg/dev-db/mysql-4.0.25-r2/mysql-4.0.25-r2.ebuild config, and /usr/bin/mysql_install_db.

Upon trying /etc/init.d/mysql start I get this:
Code:

localhost ~ # /etc/init.d/mysql start
 * Starting mysqld (/etc/mysql/my.cnf) ...                                [ !! ]
localhost ~ #


Here is my /etc/mysql/my.cnf file:
Code:

localhost ~ # cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf
# /etc/mysql/my.cnf: The global mysql configuration file.
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/dev-db/mysql/files/my.cnf-4.0.24-r1,v 1.1 2005/03/13 05:54:00 robbat2 Exp $
#
# This file can be simultaneously placed in three places:
# 1. /etc/mysql/my.cnf to set global options.
# 2. /var/lib/mysql/my.cnf to set server-specific options.
# 3. ~/.my.cnf to set user-specific options.
#
# One can use all long options that the program supports.
# Run the program with --help to get a list of them.
#
# The following values assume you have at least 64M RAM!

[client]
#password       = my_password
port            = 3306
socket          = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

[safe_mysqld]
err-log         = /var/log/mysql/mysql.err

[mysqld]
user            = mysql
pid-file        = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
socket          = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
log-error       = /var/log/mysql/mysqld.err
# If set, mysql logs all queries(general query log). This will be deprecated in
# 5.0. This logs all queries, even error queries and is slow.
# log          = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log
#
# If you really need logging, use rather binary logging. Especially when doing
# replication. Read
# file:/usr/share/doc/mysql-*/manual.html.gz#Replication
# You can use PURGE MASTER LOGS TO '$hostname-bin.010' to get rid of old logs
# from $hostname-bin.01 up to $hostname-bin.09 while the slave server is
# running.
# Before doing that, check which logfile slave curently uses by running
# mysql> SHOW SLAVE STATUS
# To list logfiles on master do:
# mysql> SHOW MASTER LOGS
# Then use PURGE for those not needed anymore only! Never remove the files
# manually!
#
# Also consult RESET MASTER and RESET SLAVE commands before doing any changes
# mysql> RESET MASTER - Deletes all binary logs listed in the index
#                       file, resetting the binlog index file to be empty.
# mysql> RESET SLAVE - Makes the slave forget its replication position in
#                      the master logs.
# mysql> SET SQL_LOG_BIN=0  - this turns off logging (execute on MASTER only)
# mysql> SET SQL_LOG_BIN=1  - this turns on logging (execute on MASTER only)
#
# log-bin
# set-variable  = binlog-do-db=non_existant
# set-variable  = binlog-ignore-db=database_name

#
# The following is the InnoDB configuration
# if you wish to disable innodb instead
# uncomment just the next line
#skip-innodb
#
# the rest of the innodb config follows:
# don't eat too much memory, we're trying to be safe on 64Mb boxes.
# you might want to bump this up a bit on boxes with more RAM
set-variable = innodb_buffer_pool_size=32M
# this is the default, increase if you have lots of tables
set-variable = innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=1M
#
# i'd like to use /var/lib/mysql/innodb, but that is seen as a database :-(
# and upstream wants things to be under /var/lib/mysql/, so that's the route
# we have to take for the moment
innodb_data_home_dir = /var/lib/mysql/
innodb_log_arch_dir = /var/lib/mysql/
innodb_log_group_home_dir = /var/lib/mysql/
# you may wish to change this size to be more suitable for your system

[mysqldump]localhost ~ # ps -A | grep sql
21551 ?        00:00:00 mysqld_safe
21610 ?        00:00:00 mysqld
localhost ~ #
quick
set-variable    = max_allowed_packet=1M

[mysql]
#no-auto-rehash # faster start of mysql but no tab completition

[isamchk]
set-variable    = key_buffer=16M
localhost ~ #


The odd thing about this is that mysql does acutally start (despite the failed [!!] symbol in the runscript output):
Code:

localhost ~ # ps -A | grep sql
21551 ?        00:00:00 mysqld_safe
21610 ?        00:00:00 mysqld
localhost ~ #


I'd really like to find out where that error is comming from though.

Were there any error messages in the log? And does the server actually work, even though it shows that message, or is it a process that does nothing?

I am betting it's something with innodb, but looking in the log file would really help. The log should be located in /var/log/mysql/mysqld.log. This file should contain information as to why the database is not starting up. Take a look and see if it says anything important, and post here if you are still not able to figure it out.

These logs are produced by the invocation of the runscript, they don't look too much like errors though:
Code:
localhost mysql # ls
mysql.err  mysqld.err
localhost mysql # cat mysql.err
050721 14:26:04  mysqld started
localhost mysql # cat mysqld.err
050721 14:26:04  InnoDB: Started
/usr/sbin/mysqld: ready for connections.
Version: '4.0.25'  socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'  port: 3306  Gentoo Linux mysql-4.0.25-r2
localhost mysql #

Ok... now its a real problem:
Code:
localhost mysql # /etc/init.d/mysql start
 * Starting mysqld (/etc/mysql/my.cnf) ...                                                                                                           [ !! ]
localhost mysql # /etc/init.d/mysql stop
 * ERROR:  "mysql" has not yet been started.
localhost mysql #

Is there anything of relevance in mysqld.err (the other file in that directory)? That might hold more clues as to why it is bombing out.

I had the same sort of error in my /var/log/mysql/mysqld.err file:

Code:
InnoDB: Error: log file /var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile0 is of different size 0 5242880 bytes
InnoDB: than specified in the .cnf file 0 8388608 bytes!
050824 10:10:53 Can't init databases
050824 10:10:53 Aborting

050824 10:10:53  InnoDB: Warning: shutting down a not properly started
                 InnoDB: or created database!
050824 10:10:53 /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete


I found that removing the /var/lib/mysql/ib* files and restarting MySQL helped me.

This had happened when I rebuilt mysql and the /etc/mysql/my.cnf file had commented out the skip-innodb settings for some reason.

very odd, but all seems ok now.

Code:
rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/ib*

saved me too after an
Code:
emerge --newuse world


thanks, for posting the fix
