>Originator: Louis Mamakos
>Release: FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE i386
>Organization:
>Environment:
Recent mysql323-server port, with change to move socket to /var/run/mysql.sock;
running 4.2-STABLE
>Description:
If mysqld is started as user 'mysql', it doesn't have permissions to
create a socket in /var/run. According to /etc/mtree/BSD.var.dist,
/var/run has mode 0755 and is owned by root.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install new version of port, run standard ${DESTDIR}/etc/mysql-server.sh
script to run server as mysql user; see hostname.err file in /var/db/mysql
>Fix:
I dunno. Short-term hack is to chmod 1777 /var/run, but this doesn't
seem like the right answer. Previously, socket was /tmp/mysql.sock
which seemed to work. Should safe_mysqld create socket before changing
effective user to mysql (or whatever was named?)
