Hi!

My Knoppmyth (R5E50) box stops very often booting with this errors:
Code:
2007-03-07 18:41:11.887: Driver error was: [1/2002]:
QMYSQL3: Unable to connect
Database error was:
Can't connect to local MySQl server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'  (2)

QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
2007-03-07 18:41:11.994: DB Error (KickDatabase):
Query was:
SELECT NULL;
No error type from QSqlError? Strange...

That happens always after waking ab with ACPIwakeup and sometimes after just switching it on.
My disks have plenty of space and mysqlcheck did not show any errors. My mysql.txt looks normal. The strange thing is that it's working sometimes ....

I think I found the error myself - even if I don't understand.
I installed the locales before with apt-get install locales and then generated German locales with dpkg-reconfigure locales. In that menu I forget to activate all en_US-locales. So I reconfigured it now again, activated all en_US and de_DE locales and made en_US the default.
Well another thing I changed before was the mythtv-backend link in /etc/rcX.d from S50mythtv-backend to S99mythtv-backend to give mysql more time to come up.
The first boot was okay, so let's see.

Well, last posting was a little bit to early... the problem is still there ...

Can someone with installed R5E50 please post the output of
Code:
ls -l /etc/my*
to let me see if my rights are okay? The rights of /var/run/mysqld and its contens could be helpful, too.
Then I have three mysql.txt - in /etc/mythtv, /.mythtv and /home/mythtv/.mythtv with differnet contents. DBType=QMYSQL3 is missing in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt. Is this normal?

Thanks,
Kai

Don't know if we're having the same problem or not, but after a few days, suddenly my MySQL server isn't starting up automatically. Nothing in dmesg. Can anyone help me diagnose what's going wrong?

Kai, I posted the info you requested below.

Code:
root@mythtv2:/etc/init.d# dmesg | grep -i mysql
root@mythtv2:/etc/init.d#

root@mythtv2:/etc/init.d# ls -l /etc/my*

Never mind, I'm an idiot. I turned off the binlog in my.cnf. I thought it was unnecessary because I'm not using replication. This caused mysql startup to fail because the binlog expiration variable was set. Turned the binlog back on and things are peachy again. :oops:

Thank you - my rights are ok. Anything about all the mysql.txt - files?

I think I'm stuck .... I normally need 2 .... 7 trys to get the machine booting without stopping with the above error. That's very frustrating.

Another problem is, that there is nowhere a complete bootlog, even if I set BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=yes in /etc/default/bootlogd ...

The way I figured out my problem was by manually starting MySQL after it failed to start on boot. For some reason, it spat out the error when I started it manually, but the error never made it to dmesg during startup. I don't have access to the box right now, but I think it was something like
Code:
/etc/init.d/mysql start

I tried that before several times - the error seems to come only during boot.
The question is: where does the bootlog go on knoppmyth? I know I've seen something like mysqld started during bootup when it works - but there is nothing like this in /var/log/dmesg...
