[Digikam-devel] Bug#673161: Starting mysqld in a chroot

[Arnold Metselaar]

Hi, 

I was mistaken in my previous message.  Generating a decent /etc/mtab with the line

grep "${CHROOT_PATH}" /etc/mtab | sed -e "s:${CHROOT_PATH}/\?:/:" >"${CHROOT_PATH}/etc/mtab"

in /etc/schroot/setup.d/99mini-buildd helped get rid of warnings from df,  
but mysqld was trying to start without it as well.

Mysqld tries to bind to a port at start-up, and fails when another mysqld outside the chroot is already
bound to that port. When mysqld is not running in the host machine, it starts in a chroot just fine. 
It should also work when mysqld in the host is listening on a non-standard port.

Regards,
Arnold
