Probably a permissions issue. Ensure that the directory in which the pid file is created (I believe /var/run or /var/lib/mysql on RH) has write permission for the mysql system user/group. Also, ensure permissions/ownership on the datadir (/var/lib/mysql) for the mysql owner/group.

Hi all

I have problems getting MySQL autoboot on my RedHat installation. I have tried to add the mysql.server start script from the install dir to the system with chkconfig --add mysql (I copied it to /etc/init.d/) and then trying to add mysql to the default boot order with chkconfig mysql on but no luck there.

I have even tried to edit rc.local with the commands service mysql start (this work when I run it myself) and mysqld -u mysql ...

The log file says that mysql has been started and then ended directly after..

060621 13:12:29 mysqld started 060621 13:12:33 mysqld ended

Anyone that have any tip on how to solve this?

I can add that chkconfig -- list | grep mysql tells me that MySQL has been configured to run on boot levels 3,4 and 5 correctly and go down on 1,2 and 6 but still it refuses to work. =(

Version being used is, RHEL 4.3 and MySQL 5.0.22

All help is greatly appreciated.
