mysql crashes

We're trying to install a archserver with apache and mysql. Mysql starts and exits a few seconds later. no error messages just exits.
what should i do about this? server is a dual p3 600 with 2 scsi discs and 384mb memory.
also recompiled apache with mod_perl but that shouldn't be a problem

Re: mysql crashes

i had the same error few days ago setting up an archserver.

ok this is the work arround:

first be sure to delete all mysql-related folders and let the /etc/rc.d/mysql start script do all the hardwork (setting perms and adding stuff)..

the mysql-related folders are:

/var/lib/mysql

so if u encounter probles first:

rm -rf /var/lib/mysql

then

pacman -R mysql
pacman -S mysql

/etc/rc.d/mysql start

then set your admin passwd and that's all..

greets,

Re: mysql crashes

You can also check /var/log/errors, /var/log/messages, /var/lib/mysql/yourhostname.err

If you still don't see a problem, try running /usr/bin/mysqld_safe manually and looking for errors.
