Hi
For the benefit of others upgrading to the recent mysql-server
update
mysql-server-3.23.58-2.3
on two hosts now mysql fails to start with
# /etc/init.d/mysqld start
Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon.
Starting MySQL: [FAILED]
Looking at RHSA-2004:569-01 it contains amongst other things
108779 - Always timeout error starting MySQL Daemon.
Changing
ping="/usr/bin/mysqladmin -uUNKNOWN_MYSQL_USER ping"
in /etc/init.d/mysql
ping="/usr/bin/mysqladmin -uUNKNOWN_MYSQL_USER -t 5 ping"
resolves the situation.
I've added something to the Redhat bug itself.
