Ugrade breaks MySql

[AndyNC]

Hi all,
I've had mysql running for a week or so now but I've just done and sudo apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade and mysql is now broken.

Code: Select all

[FAIL] Starting MySQL database server: mysqld . . . . . . . . . . . . . . failed!
invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing mysql-server-5.5 (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mysql-server:
 mysql-server depends on mysql-server-5.5; however:
  Package mysql-server-5.5 is not configured yet.

dpkg: error processing mysql-server (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mysql-server-5.5
 mysql-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

So the mysql need to be configured but I don't know how to start the configuration.
I've tried another suggestion of changing
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
to
bind-address = 0.0.0.0
and attempting a /etc/init.d/mysql start with no luck.
Can anyone guide me through this.

Many thanks

Andy

There may be erroneous break in some of the lines because of the width of the remote ssh window I was running from.

I guess any one doing the same will get the same problem so a solution seems to be needed but it's beyond me without a few clues.

Many thanks

Andy

Edit: If there's an easy way to go back using apt-get I'd love to find out.

Hi All,

Did a reboot and seems to work OK.

But should I need to do this or does the package installation script need changing?

Regards
Andy

[AndyNC]

So I then installed htop and I get the same problem in that at the end of the htop installation mysql fails to restart.

If I reboot mysql server runs. Note that PHPMyAdmin say it's "Server version: 5.5.24-9"

Cheers

Andy

I am experiencing same problem and am also running 3.2.27+ #160 PREEMPT Mon Sep 17

Here is what happens:

aptget install <anything> always wants to stop and start mysqld but the start fails.

Was not a problem until about a week ago.

Here is the output of a test 'apt-get install':

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install htop

I'm having the same problem too!!

I tried to install mysql with "sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client php5-mysql"

end up with the same errors.....very much willing to see a solution....

Your error log is showing the same results as mine. Innodb won't initialize. (The storage engine).
We should see "InnoDB: Completed initialization of buffer pool" but instead get an error.

A reboot is your workaround for now. (You have probably already discovered that )

I think this has something to do with the version of MySQL - "5.5.24-9 (Debian)".

[red6]

Here is another workaround I found on stackoverflow.com.

After your apt-get install <whatever> blows up mysql, let it complete and then:

service apache2 stop
service apache2 start
service mysqld start

Maybe apache2 is configured to use way too much memory ?

[red6]

Here is the problem and the fix. MySQL 5.5 defaults to an Innodb buffer size of 128M. It was 8M.

So add this to /etc/mysql/my.cnf in the section where it mentions Innodb settingss but doesn't actually have any explicit settings:

innodb_buffer_pool_size = 8M

See http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=63989 for more info.

[bitbitbit]

yes...I can get mysql starting after reboot....

but it seems there are many problems still....

1) after reboot, Pi cannot ask me to login again (though I can login with PUTTY), instead it says....

Code: Select all

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

2) I try to "sudo service mysql stop" however, it returns:

Code: Select all

[FAIL] Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld failed!

Erm.....is anybody experiencing these as well??

[portets]

Possibly related to http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 29&t=19334

The firmware is currently a little bit broken.

[bitbitbit]

yay~~solved~it's the problem with the preset password~

[wiredsource]

rm /var/lib/mysql/ib*

Solved it for me

[dimkir]

Well, changing size of the innodb buffer (where it was 128M by default) actually made my mysql server run.

Code: Select all

innodb_buffer_pool_size = 8M

However I still don't understand, why it wouldn't run 128Mb buffer on a Raspberry Pi with 512Mb of RAM?
