implementing mysql on lonestar Lee James Alexander https://conferences.xsede.org/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=&messageId=501470 2013-04-18T20:00:24Z 2013-04-18T19:59:50Z

Hi All<br />I am new to the lonestar environment. A program that I wish to use requires that I have access to mysql. Has anybody here had any experience installing mysql on lonestar? I have spent the last 10 hours trying to get it to work by installing it from source and redirecting it to directories where I have permissions. When I tried to start it I get:<br /> <br />login1$ ./bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &amp;<br />[1] 32092<br />login1$ 130418 14:45:59 mysqld_safe Logging to &#039;/var/log/mysqld.log&#039;.<br />touch: cannot touch `/var/log/mysqld.log&#039;: Permission denied<br />chmod: cannot access `/var/log/mysqld.log&#039;: No such file or directory<br />130418 14:45:59 mysqld_safe The file /work/02421/alexa039/mysql//work/02421/alexa039/bin//mysqld<br />does not exist or is not executable. Please cd to the mysql installation<br />directory and restart this script from there as follows:<br />./bin/mysqld_safe&amp;<br />See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysqld-safe.html for more information<br />bin/mysqld_safe: line 129: /var/log/mysqld.log: Permission denied <br /><br />So I don’t know how I can use the program if I don’t have permissions in /var/log/mysqld.log&#039;. (or how to redirect to a different directory)<br /><br />There are some other issues that will take too much space here at the moment.<br />Thanks in advance
