Re: Autostarting MYSQL -- WEB400

Tim,

I'm surprised to hear you suggest adopted authority. OS/400 normally doesn't use adopted authority for IFS permissions... so I wouldn't expect adopting authority to have any impact here.

Instead, I would suspect that MYSQL was previously started with a different userid (not the MYSQL userid) and those tables got created under that ID.

Fixing it should be a matter of doing:

cd /QOpenSys/usr/local/mysql/mysql
chown -R mysql *

shouldn't it? Or is there more to the issue than I understand?

Mike,

errno 13 is EPERM (Permission denied) in PASE/AIX. Basically, the MySQL server is getting its hand slapped when it tries to open the .frm file for the jos_session table (part of Joomla) in the rgc schema. This leads me to believe that the two different paths that you are taking to start up MySQL are using different user profiles. Consequently, tables (and their associated .frm IFS files) created by one profile are inaccessible by the other. In general, to avoid this pitfall, MySQL should be only run under a single user profile. You could try adopting authority as Mike Pavlak suggested earlier in this thread, or you could change the owner or permissions of the files in the MySQL data directory, or both.

Scott,
Thanks for the code. I have it downloaded but I only have it partially
working. Its probably minor, but I've been unable to resolve the issue
so far today.

After compiling all the code, and making the necessary change to the
path. I interactively ran the STRMYSQL program.
It opened up QP2shell and started the MYSQL daemon.
I was then able to open my Joomla website.
Great, its working.
I ended the MYSQL daemon and did a strsbs MYSQL.
The subsystem starts and it appears that the MYSQL daemon starts.
However, now when I try to open my website, I get the following.

jtablesession::Store Failed
DB function failed with error number 1017
Can't find file: './rgc/jos_session.frm' (errno: 13) SQL=INSERT INTO
`jos_session` ( `session_id`,`time`,`username`,`gid`,`guest`,`client_id`
) VALUES (
'b42ac67b758591d372a7d414a57dddef','1262718581','','0','1','0' )

It seems to be a path error of some sort, but I'm confused because it
works interactively.

Looking in the log file I found this
ERROR]
/QOpenSys/usr/local/mysql/mysql-5.1.39-i5os-power-64bit/bin/mysqld:
Can't find file: './rgc/jos_session.frm' (errno: 13)

I'm not sure why its trying to point to this folder/file.

Thanks for your help and all that you do.

Mike
