#40018 assigned defect

Error in mysqld_safe script prevents startup

Reported by: modemmonkey@… Owned by:

Component: ports Version: 2.2.0
Keywords: Cc: parzley@…
Port: percona

Description

In the most recent version of the percona port (percona @5.5.32-31.0_0), there is a bug in the mysqld_safe script that prevents MySQL from starting up. Upon running it, it gives the following error:

/opt/local/lib/percona/bin/mysqld_safe: line 734: syntax error near unexpected token `then'
/opt/local/lib/percona/bin/mysqld_safe: line 734: `    then    # The pid contains a mysqld process'

Looking into the script, there is an IF statement on line 733 that has no condition, and I'm assuming that's the issue. I've worked around this by re-activating a previous version of the port, but it's going to be a pain for users who are installing it for the first time.

I've changed the code in mysqld_safe at line 723 from

if kill -0 $PID > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
  then
    if 
    then    # The pid contains a mysqld process                                 
      log_error "A mysqld process already exists"
      exit 1
    fi
  fi

to

  if kill -0 $PID > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
  then
    if ps -ef | grep -v mysqld_safe | grep -- $MYSQLD | grep $PID > /dev/null
    then    # The pid contains a mysqld process                                 
      log_error "A mysqld process already exists"
      exit 1
    fi
  fi

The ps line was taken from the previous release.

I get the same for mysql55-server @5.5.33:

/opt/local/lib/mysql55/bin/mysqld_safe: line 726: syntax error near unexpected token `then'
/opt/local/lib/mysql55/bin/mysqld_safe: line 726: `    then    # The pid contains a mysqld process'

and with mariadb-server @5.5.32

/opt/local/lib/mariadb/bin/mysqld_safe: line 748: syntax error near unexpected token `then'
/opt/local/lib/mariadb/bin/mysqld_safe: line 748: `    then    # The pid contains a mysqld process'
