mysqld dead but subsys locked - SOLVED
Jan 9, 2008
This seems to be a very common problem on Linux servers. I am running Cent OS 4.x with PHP and Apache. When I tried to install MySQL 5.x, I received the message:
mysqld dead but subsys locked
After a great deal of searching, I found the solution to be quite simple.
1. Locate the MySQL install directory
2. In Terminal, run the following command: "mysql_install_db --user=mysql"
3. Start or restart MySQL via the Services GUI window.
That's it. Pretty straightforward:
Cent OS 4.x
MySQL 4.x
Enjoy and happy coding
