I just did an unwanted mysql upgrade and am now unable to start the mysql service. After doing some searching the common solution is to just create a symlink ln -s /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock /tmp/mysql.sock The issue for me is I don''t have the file I am trying to symlink to (/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock) If I try to start mysql manually (mysql start) I get the error: # mysql start

Hello, I've only had experience with PostgreSQL sofar, but have now to install MySQL (and WordPress) on a CentOS 6.4 /64 bit server. I have installed the mysql-5.1.69-1.el6_4.x86_64 package and executed the following commands: # chkconfig mysqld on # service mysqld start # /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'xxxxx' # /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation Then I've noticed that

My www directory is owned by "apache" and the group is "todd" and the permissions are 775. My Windows computers use Samba and they log into Linux with "todd". Under the www directory there are various directories which may have a group belonging to a user e.g. "viewpoint". Using this example, there is a directory under www (acutally called httpd),

Hey everybody, I'm trying to get mysql master/slave replication to work under SSL. I've created the certs for both the slave and the master. I've configured the master and slave my.cnf. And it does appear that replication is actually working. Master is actually MariaDB (version 5.5.41-MariaDB-log, and the slave is MySQL (version 5.5.41-log). But there are two issues I'd like to

Currently I have VNC running on my Windows desktop with Samba providing access to my Linux server. Since Linux is more reliable than Windows, I would like to be able to access my Linux (Centos 5.5) via my Windows notebook - hopefully via VNC or some similar application and then access the Windows desktop (if it is not locked up :-) ) with Samba. What is the best VNC like application to

Unfortunately, I blew MySQL away by replacing the MySQL control tables with others and not making a copy of the folder. My data is backed up, so that is not a problem, but I cannot reinstall MySQL and create the mysql directory with the control tables (e.g. user, db, host). I have run "yum remove mysql" and "yum install mysql" and "yum install mysql-server" and

Hello. This is my mysql-server.pp file, both master and client are runing ubuntu. -------------------- class mysql-server { package { "mysql-server": ensure => installed } package { "mysql-client": ensure => installed } service { "mysql": enable => true, ensure => running, require => Package["mysql-server"], } file

I have connected a HD that was a prior system drive (Centos 4.8) and I am not sure of the command line procedures to find out if it is recognized (I believe it is since it present in the GUI), delete all data on it and finally add it to the LVM. I would like to use it as a backup data drive. Todd -- Ariste Software Petaluma, CA 94952 http://www.aristesoftware.com

I am running Centos 5.8; at least uname -rmi gives me centos-release-5-8.el5.centos A CMS package is telling me that I need PHP 5.2x, however yum update says that I am fully up to date.

I started a new thread since the original one is getting rather long. I have retrieved the files I deleted in /boot and /boot/grub, however I need to make links for /boot/System.map (System.map -> System.map-2.6.9-89.35.1) /boot/vmlinuz (vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.9-89.35.1) /boot/grub/menu.lst (menu.lst -> ./grub.conf) If it was not so important to get it correct, I would appreciate

For a long period of time, my Apache root directory has been /home/httpd. For security reasons, this is not so good as SELinux has informed me. Now all of the files have been copied to /var/www/etc with owner and group "root". The privileges are 754 (rwxr-xr--), however apache does not have access to them. Should the owner be apache? Group?

Not being familiar with chip sets and other factors that "hardware experts" understand, I am perplexed with the multitude of available motherboards. Is there a Web site that can be of help or a "strategy"? My goal is to replace my motherboard with one that is Centos compatible and uses a Pentium 4 in the 2 MHz range. As example, when I go to Mwave, I am presented with

Grasping a full understanding of setting default Users, Groups and Masks has alluded me over the years, but now I find myself in a situation where manually "setting" the file/directory attributes is becoming a pain. I understand the fundamentals of the file attributes, though from time to time I have to review the "sticky bit"; what I do not understand is where/how the
