mysql启动without pid_深度解析MySQL启动时报“The server quit without updating PID file”错误的原因...

很多童鞋在启动mysql的时候，碰到过这个错误，

首先，澄清一点，出现这个错误的前提是：通过服务脚本来启动mysql。通过mysqld_safe或mysqld启动mysql实例并不会报这个错误。

那么，出现这个错误的原因具体是什么呢？

哈哈，对分析过程不care的童鞋可直接跳到文末的总结部分~

总结

下面，来分析下mysql的服务启动脚本

脚本完整内容如下：

#!/bin/sh

# This file is public domain and comes with NO WARRANTY of any kind

# MySQL daemon start/stop script.

# Usually this is put in /etc/init.d (at least on machines SYSV R4 based

# systems) and linked to /etc/rc3.d/S99mysql and /etc/rc0.d/K01mysql.

# When this is done the mysql server will be started when the machine is

# started and shut down when the systems goes down.

# Comments to support chkconfig on RedHat Linux

### BEGIN INIT INFO

# Provides: mysql

# Required-Start: $local_fs $network $remote_fs

# Should-Start: ypbind nscd ldap ntpd xntpd

# Required-Stop: $local_fs $network $remote_fs

# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5

# Default-Stop: 0 1 6

# Short-Description: start and stop MySQL

# Description: MySQL is a very fast and reliable SQL database engine.

### END INIT INFO

# If you install MySQL on some other places than /usr/local/mysql, then you

# have to do one of the following things for this script to work:

#

# - Run this script from within the MySQL installation directory

# - Create a /etc/my.cnf file with the following information:

# [mysqld]

# basedir=

# - Add the above to any other configuration file (for example ~/.my.ini)

# and copy my_print_defaults to /usr/bin

# - Add the path to the mysql-installation-directory to the basedir variable

# below.

#

# If you want to affect other MySQL variables, you should make your changes

# in the /etc/my.cnf, ~/.my.cnf or other MySQL configuration files.

# If you change base dir, you must also change datadir. These may get

# overwritten by settings in the MySQL configuration files.

basedir=

datadir=

# for server start.

# Value here is overriden by value in my.cnf.
