I am trying to get mysqld to run on an old Fedora Core 4 machine; updaing to
later FC is not possible on this machine at this time.

I am getting the message 'Timeout error occured trying to start MySQL Demon.
Starting MySQL: [FAILED]'

I am not sure this maybe a firewall problem, but I cannot remember where the
firewall config files are ?

Help !

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron

Okay got it /etc/sysconfig/iptables looking at my other working FC5 machine
I cannot see anything needed in iptables.

Double Help !

try and locate a more detailed error message.
somewhere one hopes MYSQL has written what it was trying to do that
timed out.

timeouts are usually caused by inavailability of something outside the
box (this can be caused by firewalls) could it possibly be an inability
to resolve a name (a DNS/YP/NIS problem?) I can't immagine MySQL doing
anything else at startup that could cause this problem.

I am getting the following in /var/log/mysqld.log
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
081024 14:39:24 mysqld started
081024 14:39:25 [ERROR] Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: No space
left on device
081024 14:39:25 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on

081024 14:39:25 [Note] /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown complete

081024 14:39:25 mysqld ended
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BTW /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock does not exist

Anyone throw any light on this ?

Do you have the correct permissions on the /var/lib/mysql folders?

Difficult to diagnose without knowing what you've done.

Try
# mysqld --verbose

and
# mysqld --safe-mode --verbose

Try

mysqld_safe --verbose

gives the following in '/var/log/mysqld.log' :-

Looks like you're using InnoDB which is auto-extending and you're running
out of space most likely for the extents. What allocations did you set
in ~/.my.cnf ?

Check the MySQL manual for minimum size allocations for the InnoDB.

AFAICT 'ENOSPC' is not a valid return for socket(PF_UNIX,...), or bind.

but anyway, run '/bin/df' and post the output.

My experience with "no space left on device" is that it means what it says:
you've managed to completely fill up a disk partition.

Yeah, I realized I had run out of disk several days ago, but have not been
on list to report this.

sqld still refuses to run though.
