mysqld error on startup

OK. I admit. I should probably have left well alone, but I wanted to move
the installed location of mySQL. This all seemed to go OK, but when I moved
from something like:

/home/rob/mySQL/mysql-max-3.23.55-pc-linux-i686/bin

to /mysql

The when I try to startup the daemon I get an error

Can't find message file /usr/local/mysql/share/english/errmsg.sys

Now as far as I know I've never had this directory, or this problem. I can
start using ./bin/safe_mysqld & and everything seems to work OK. To further
complicate matters I also downloaded and installed 4.1 and the same happens
(it wan't an attempt to fix the problem, just something I needed to do)

When I try to find the settings file, (since I'd also like to change the
data directory location) which I thought was called my.cnf, then I can't
find one. Any idea what's happening?

Cheers

Rob

I've been searching the mailing list for a solution to my problem with "mysqld got signal 11;" and I haven't seen any answers that might help me. This is the situation. I have a db that is being accessed intensively about 400 connections during the wee at a time. I noticed the problem at first with 4.0.13 and tried 3.23.57 and now 4.0.14 with the same problem. I've run the db on FreeBSD 5.1 and 4.8, again same problem. This is what...

Dear Sirs, I can not start MySQL server. More specifically, MySQL was running fine all the time since installation. It stopped working after I used FmPro Migrator to convert some File Maker databases to MySQL It looks like mysqld has no access permissions to InnoDB and I do not know how to fix it.

>Description: I've recently compiled mysql 4.0.14 on redhat 8.0. The installation fails, however, when running mysql_install_db. I've attached a transcript below. I gather from searching the 'net that this isn't an entirely unusual thing to happen, and is likely the result of some misconfiguration on my part, or perhaps a version incompatability with my libc. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any concrete suggestions on how to get past it.

I'm using ssh to administer a mysql server, version 3.23.49, which I just installed. The problem when starting mysqld: I type "mysqld" at the shell prompt and hit return, then I get the message "mysqld: ready for connections". But then it doesn't give me back the shell prompt. I can type stuff on the screen, but it doesn't do anything. I've tried Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Z, but that does nothing. Any ideas? Thanks. Paul

I have written a service that is depending on mysqld. The service startup just fine, but I would like to have my service *always* shutdown first before mysqld does. That way I can add some log into my table before the service shutdown. As I search online, I haven't found any way to do so. Since the "service dependencies" setting of services is only used at startup stage, but not at shutdown stage. Is there any way to intercept the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
