[gentoo-user] MySQL Run Script Weirdness

/etc/init.d/mysql is acting very strangely on a fresh mysql (4.0.25-r2). I've 
tried to install the stable version as well, but I get the same nonsense.

Floow along and you'll see what I mean.

No previous instances of mysql are running:
[code]
localhost mysql # ps -A | grep sql
localhost mysql #
[/code]

When I run the mysql init script I get a failed symbol, with only a reference 
to /etc/mysql/my.cnf; this isn't very useful debugging info...
[code]
localhost mysql # /etc/init.d/mysql start
 * Caching service dependencies ...                                                                                              
[ ok ]
 * Starting mysqld (/etc/mysql/my.cnf) ...                                                                                       
[ !! ]
localhost mysql #
[/code]

So, I go check out the logs; again, not very much useful debugging info.
[code]
localhost mysql # pwd
/var/log/mysql
localhost mysql # ls
mysql.err  mysqld.err
localhost mysql # cat mysql.err
050722 19:41:24  mysqld started
localhost mysql # cat mysqld.err
050722 19:41:24  InnoDB: Database was not shut down normally.

localhost mysql #
[/code]

There's probably no debugging useful debugging info because mysql started just 
fine :roll: 

[code]
localhost mysql # ps -A | grep mysql
  909 ?        00:00:00 mysqld_safe
  948 ?        00:00:00 mysqld
localhost mysql #
[/code]

I can connect to mysql without issue as well:
[code]
localhost mysql # mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 3 to server version: 4.0.25

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> quit
Bye
localhost mysql #
[/code]

I might be inclined to not care and just continue development; but....

[code]
localhost mysql # /etc/init.d/mysql stop
 * ERROR:  "mysql" has not yet been started.
localhost mysql #
[/code]

The fact that I can't use the runscript to stop the proess gets to me... I'm 
itching to fix this.

Here is the /etc/mysql/my.cnf file with comments grep'd out:

[code]
localhost mysql # grep -v '^#' /etc/mysql/my.cnf

[client]
port            = 3306

[isamchk]

Here is the run script in question. Also, before installing mysql, I made sure 
that there was no previous /etc/init.d/mysql file; so, this is surly the 
runscript created by the fresh mysql-4.0.25-r2 emerge.

I really hope that someone can help me fix this.

Did you run "mysql_install_db" after emerging MySQL???

If you didn't, then I would kill off MySQL, run the script, then do
"/etc/init.d/mysql zap", after which the normal start and stop should
work.

OK, but did you try the other stuff?

Nope, same old stuff:

You could try rebuilding mysql - that missing symbol error message may
have been a clue...
