Advanced Linux Help Quetion

I compiled MySQL 4.1.21 and go to start it, and it will time out, nothing popups and nothing. This is a screenshot about 20 mins of letting it load.



Does anybody know what to do.

It happens on 4.1.21 and 5.0.24a

Maybe you busted it when you compiled it

Try recompiling it, as that's never happened to me on my home server, ever, and IU use the latest version of MySQL too. Once you recompile it, try to start up MySQL again.

[winlux]

what you should try and do before recompiling is the next. Just log in with your normal user name that you use for everything. After that type " mysqld -u [username] -p [database] "

do not type [...] or "..." and fill in the required info. the [database] is just to log into a specific database you may omit it. -p prompts for a password the reason doing it like this is that it would be more secure as this way the password is not visible as clear text. that should do the trick.

The reason why it doesn't load the way you did it is because you just started the sql server. Nothing will happen like that. It just makes it possible for others to access.

..." mysqld -u [username] -p [database] "

Just to correct myself. I made a mistake by saying mysqld, it should be mysql. The rest of the command remains the same. Sorry for the confusion.
