I'm using a bitnami wordpress stack to host my site
AMI: bitnami-wordpress-3.2.1-4-linux-ubuntu-10.04-ebs (ami-8333ffea)
and wanted to update some packages and used the built-in command to stop mysql
sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh stop mysql
There was an issue with an openjdk-6 package that kept causing the apt-get upgrade to stalling and eventually time-out.
I ended up using aptitude to manual remove the openjdk from the update (and any dependencies). apt-get then worked successfully.
Now I'd like to restart MySQL and get my site running again.
bitnami@_______:~$ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh start mysql
120126 17:48:20 mysqld_safe Logging to '/opt/bitnami/mysql/data/mysqld.log'.
120126 17:48:21 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld.bin daemon with databases from /opt/bitnami/mysql/data
120126 17:48:26 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /opt/bitnami/mysql/data/ip-10-122-205-196.pid ended
/opt/bitnami/mysql/scripts/ctl.sh : mysql could not be started
bitnami@_______:~$ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh status
apache already running
mysql not running
I've checked for other mysql processes running
bitnami@_______:~$ ps aux | grep mysql
mysql 528 0.0 2.8 145672 18160 ? Ssl Jan25 0:20 /usr/sbin/mysqld
bitnami 4089 0.0 0.1 3348 800 pts/0 S+ 18:41 0:00 grep mysql
Tried killing them (well, the first one at least) and still had no luck restarting mysql.
Any advice?
