Bug 96388 – /var/run/mysqld wrong owner

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jay Proulx 2005-06-17 08:39:01 UTC]

When emerging mysql 4.0.24 the /var/run/mysqld folder that was created was owned
by root:root, not mysql:mysql.

I unmerged and re-emerged, with the same results.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
emerge mysql
/etc/init.d/mysql start
Actual Results:  
Mysql complained about not being able to bind to a socket, it wouldn't start,
had to be zapped. /var/run/my

Expected Results:  
Mysql should have started normally

Are you using mythbackend?

See comment #1.

Not as far as I am aware, this was just after a clean gentoo 2005.0 install, I
rebooted and:
`emerge sun-jdk samba mod_php tomcat jboss`

I used the i686 stage 3 tarball and the following make options:
CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon -fomit-frame-pointer"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
USE="-gtk -gnome -X -qt -kde -cdr -cups xml xml2 innodb oc gd ssl mysql apache2
jpeg png doc jikes"

(I think oc is a typo, but it's in there anyway :P)

Hmm, pretty strange, the ebuild seems to be OK...

<snip>
pkg_postinst() {
        mysql_get_datadir

        #empty dirs...
        [ -d "${ROOT}/${DATADIR}" ] || install -d -m0750 -o mysql -g mysql
${ROOT}/var/lib/mysql
        [ -d "${ROOT}/var/run/mysqld" ] || install -d -m0755 -o mysql -g mysql
${ROOT}/var/run/mysqld
        [ -d "${ROOT}/var/log/mysql" ] || install -d -m0755 -o mysql -g mysql
${ROOT}/var/log/mysql
</snip>

Is this broken just in stage 3?

Before that I installed the athlon-xp stage 3 and it worked alright..
