I keep getting this message...

Omar,
         I keep getting this job. Just seems to sit out there forever. Had my Web Hoster look at and
they said it is a problem.
Does this look familar?   

/usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --user=mysql --pid-file=/var/lib/mysql/eryn.erynsite.com.pid --skip-external-locking


Thanks in advance!  Jack Hallaran

I don't remember anything similar before.. Where exactly you see or get that? Your host said is a problem, but what kind of problem?! I doubt is a BS issue, it looks more like a mysql server issue. Who is your host company by the way..?

Omar,
         I'm using Liquid Web. Their Techs are stumped. I have received this message every day. I have a VPS running
about 10 installs.
                         Thanks! Jack

I have received this message every day.

Received where? In an email? If so, what is the sender, subject of that message?

I love stumped tech support. I wonder how they get hired.. or how much get paid. Most of time they are only able to copy/paste you some answers from a FAQ list. I don;t know about liquidweb, but ixwebhosting support guys are totally clueless..

Omar,
          I'll attach a copy of the Centos process manager. The PID I am referring to is 3988 on the attached report.
My BS package is doing a great job.
Again, thanks in advance from an old IBM mainframer.

Unfortunately that does not work. It try to open some frames but result in an eror, i guess is some pages that are protected in the frames

[Hallaran]

Omar, Sorry the HTML got blocked. Here is a cut & paste from Word. The Pid 3988 shows the lock. I cannot telll if it is
an error what? Does MySql on any of your installs of BS give you the"--skip-external-locking" message?
Thank you! Jack
