The unused message above indicates that MySQL is down. To bring the database
server up, we execute the
start command:
koha @linux: - # sudo /etc /init.d /mysql start
Starting service MySQL
done
As with Apache2 on openSuSE and similar distributions, MySQL may not have
been configured to start up at boot time.
To test if this is the case, we run command
chkconf ig:
koha @linux: /home /koha # sudo chkconfig mysql
mysql off
To make sure MySQL starts at boot, we run
chkconf ig
with the on option:
koha @linux: - # sudo chkconfig
mysql on
Again, just like with Apache2, let's run a test once again to make sure the
configuration is correct:
koha@linux:/home/koha # sudo chkconfig mysql
mysql
on
There could be other reasons for the problem; you might want to take a look at
the MySQL logs for clues:
koha @linux: /home /koha # tail -f /var /log /mysql /mysqld.log
The
messages
log file is a general system log file, and may contain useful
information as well:
koha @linux: /home /koha # tail -f /var /log /messages
