Description:
In mysql.user I have only one user 'admin' with password 'setup'.
# mysqladmin ping
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'
But as I understand mysqladmin ping must return 0 if mysql is running. Now it's
returning 1.
I think this is not right - 'permission denied' and 'connection refused' is the different
things, and at this case mysqladmin ping must return 0.
In Suse /etc/init.d/mysql (i.e. init-script for mysql) use 'mysqladmin ping', and in my
situation happens next:
-----8<---------------------------------------------
# sh -x /etc/init.d/mysql start
+ test '!' -d /var/lib/mysql/mysql
+ echo 'Starting service MySQL'
Starting service MySQL
+ /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql --pid-file=/var/lib/mysql/mysqld.pid
--socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
+ sleep 1
+ /usr/bin/mysqladmin ping
+ sleep 1
+ /usr/bin/mysqladmin ping
+ sleep 1
+ /usr/bin/mysqladmin ping
+ sleep 1
+ /usr/bin/mysqladmin ping
+ sleep 1
+ /usr/bin/mysqladmin ping
+ sleep 1
+ /usr/bin/mysqladmin ping
+ test -z 6
+ rc_failed
........
+ echo -e '' failed
failed
+ _rc_status=0
+ return 1
+ rc_exit
+ exit 1
# mysqladmin ping
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'
# mysqladmin -uadmin -psetup ping
mysqld is alive
----------------------------------------------->8---
How to repeat:
Just delete user 'root' from mysql.user, and type
# mysqladmin ping
Suggested fix:
I propose return 1 only if mysqld is not running (i.e. answer from mysqld is 'connection
refused').
