Hi,
I just did a yum upgrade and it's killed MySQL, the problem seems to be with selinux..
When I try to start mysqld it fails, and I get the following in /var/log/messages:
[...]
Jan 7 20:33:17 thome kernel: audit(1105129997.241:0): avc: denied { associate } for pid=6221 exe=/usr/libexec/mysqld name=mysql.sock scontext=root:object_r:unlabeled_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:fs_t tclass=filesystem
Jan 7 20:33:27 thome mysqld: Starting MySQL: failed
[...]
I see from the changelog that there have been some changes to the selinux config in this package
[...] * Wed Jan 05 2005 Tom Lane <tgl@xxxxxxxxxx> 3.23.58-14
- work around SELinux restriction that breaks mysql_install_db (bug #141062)
- Add a restorecon to keep the mysql.log file in the right context (bz#143887)
- Fix init script to not need a valid username for startup check (bz#142328)
- Don't assume /etc/my.cnf will specify pid-file (bz#143724)
[...]
Any suggestions gratefully received :)
Tolan.
