restarting msql on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

I have a brand new Ubuntu 12.04LTS install with Percona Server 5.6 installed for evaluation purposes. When I try to restart the server via “/etc/init.d/mysql restart” or stop or Start I get eithe rof the following below. When checing teh server variable, the DB is running but none of the /etc.my.cnf changes have taken. The only way to make the changes take is an actual reboot.

How to restart mysql without a reboot?

  • Stopping MySQL (Percona Server) mysqld [fail]
  • Starting MySQL (Percona Server) database server mysqld [fail]

Can you please share your mysql error log relevant entries for that error and also check syslog. That should tell us what’s the problem during restart.

Without seeing the error log, my first guess is going to be a permissions issue with AppArmor. Try disabling it for a test and then restarting MySQL. If that works, then you need to either update the AppArmor config for MySQL or disable AppArmor all together.

As mentioned both Ubuntu and MySQL are virgin installs, all updates are applied. I did manage to move the DB to a second harddrive, but the mysql log doesn’t give any errors

Sorry not familiar enough with AppArmor (I know my bad) to understand. When I moved a regular mysql to a different hdd I had to change the /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqlsd. However with Percona this file doesn’t exist; so don’t know what to do about that.

is there a way to make Ubuntu more verbose when issuing the /etc/init.d/mysql restart|START|STOP comment?

Looks like “service mysql start|stop|restart” works nicely contrary to documentation. I will take that and may entertain adopting Percona Mysql as a production server.

Yeah guessing it was still a permissions issue. Ubuntu is strange in the way it handles MySQL as it custom scripts with special users it tries to make you use, and if you deviate from the standard install it gets wonky very quickly. Glad you got it working though. =)
