restarting mysql

  • 772

I try to restart mysql server on Ubuntu 12.04:

viggy@ubuntu:/$ /etc/init.d/mysql restart
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service mysql restart

viggy@ubuntu:/$ service mysql restart
stop: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.83" (uid=1000 pid=4395 comm="stop mysql ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Stop" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")

I'm not sure what that message is saying.

    You need to be root or use

    sudo service mysql restart

    in order to send the restart command as root.

  2. mysql is the client. You probably want service mysqld restart. And unless you're running as root, you'll probably want to add sudo to the command as well.
