I don't understand this issue so I am posting this here. I noticed
today that I had an issue with restarting MySQL on my server:
1. I verify MySQL is not running:
Code:
[root@ghost /]# ps -ef | grep -i "mysqld"
root 1706 1216 0 16:45 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i mysqld
2. I start the 'mysqld' service:
Code:
[root@ghost /]# /etc/rc.d/mysqld start
:: Starting MySQL Server
[DONE]
3. I verify that the daemon is running:
Code:
[root@ghost /]# ps -ef | grep -i "mysqld"
root 1715 1 0 16:45 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/sh
/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
mysql 1813 1715 0 16:45 pts/0 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld
--basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --user=mysql
--log-error=/var/lib/mysql/ghost.err
--pid-file=/var/lib/mysql/ghost.pid
--socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock --port=3306
4. I then run the command to restart the daemon for MySQL and it fails...
Code:
[root@ghost /]# /etc/rc.d/mysqld restart
:: Stopping MySQL Server
[DONE]
:: Starting MySQL Server
[FAIL]
I can use the 'start' and 'stop' commands for /etc/rc.d/mysqld but
'restart' for some reason fails and this concerns me. Can anyone help
me understand what is wrong?
