I have configured MySQL 5.7.25 instance using Linux Generic Binaries on a separate mount point (instead of default locations) on a test server (RHEL 7.4).



The systemd support, in this case, must be manually configured, which I did.



My question is regarding systemctl command.
When I issue systemctl status mysqld.service, the output shows activating (start) but the service is started successfully (at least I think so as per alert logs) and I don't get the prompt back. I have to CTRL+C to get the prompt back.
In the case of other services, systemctl status shows active (started).
Also, systemctl status mysqld.service shows "PID file /usr/local/mysql/data/mysqld.pid not readable (yet?) after start."



The PID gets generated in the defined location as can be seen below in ls -l output.



How do I deal with this?



Following is the output of the systemctl status mysqld.service

I can log in to the database.

I have tried the same procedure twice with same issue.
The systemctl status mysqld.service shows activating (start) and does not return the prompt.
I can log in to the database.










share|improve this question
















I have configured MySQL 5.7.25 instance using Linux Generic Binaries on a separate mount point (instead of default locations) on a test server (RHEL 7.4).



The systemd support, in this case, must be manually configured, which I did.



My question is regarding systemctl command.
When I issue systemctl status mysqld.service, the output shows activating (start) but the service is started successfully (at least I think so as per alert logs) and I don't get the prompt back. I have to CTRL+C to get the prompt back.
In the case of other services, systemctl status shows active (started).
Also, systemctl status mysqld.service shows "PID file /usr/local/mysql/data/mysqld.pid not readable (yet?) after start."



The PID gets generated in the defined location as can be seen below in ls -l output.



How do I deal with this?

From your output:




ExecStart=...mysqld ... --pid-file=/mysql/mysql_data/mysqld.pid ...




... does not match what you're asking systemd to watch:




PIDFile=/usr/local/mysql/data/mysqld.pid




correct one of those two, and you'll be in much better shape.
