I’m trying to use the application / database cookbooks to get a mysql db
server up. In and of itself, that should be easy and safe, but I’m using a
ubuntu 10.10 / Ruby 1.92 setup as found on this excellent article:
Everything goes just fine until it doesn’t. When the chef run tries to
restart the mysql service, it just stops. The Chef run doesn’t time out.
I’m assuming therefore that whatever command Chef has issued doesn’t time
out either.
This stuff worked on Ubuntu 10.4 and Ruby 1.87, so it seems likely that
changing one (or both) of these is what has resulted in this behavior. For
now, I’m going to try to work around it by getting a Ubuntu 10.4 / Ruby1.92
box up, so I may well answer my own question here. But I’m interested in
what folks have seen in this regard. Has anyone else seen this before?
I have no experience with this particular issue, but can you run chef-client
as follows:
chef-client -l debug
Does this provide any further output?
Can you try to do the following, while mysql is attempting to be restarted:
ps -aux|grep mysql
And paste your results here?
Thanks,
James
