I have A problem on my gentoo server (but not my gentoo laptop, which is

At launching default runlevel, several services appear to be not

whereas they are ! This concerns proftpd, mysql and console-kit (and all
services dependant of course).
For exemple, when launching proftpd, openrc says :
* Starting ProFTPD ...
* start-stop-daemon: /usr/sbin/proftpd is already running
[ !! ]
* ERROR: proftpd failed to start
mysql :
* "/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid" is still present and the process
is running.
* Please stop it "kill 5478" maybe ?
[ !! ]
* ERROR: mysql failed to start
I have set :
rc_parallel="NO"
rc_depend_strict="YES"
Anyone have an idea where to start to solve the problem ?
When you stop the machine do you see any messages about services
that fail
to stop? Any reason to suspect that those *.pid files don't get deleted?
You could try booting into single-user mode to see if those *.pid files
really are still there from the previous session.
Do the two machines run the same version of baselayout?
Does the zap option exist in openrc? That may get rid of the pid file too.
Just a thought.
I wonder if he has something in two different runlevels because
start-stop says something is already running, not just that the pid file
is there.
Based on a post made later, it would appear that he has more pressing
issues. If it thinks the service is running after a reboot, there is
problems. On my rig, those directories are cleared during boot because
there can't be a service running right after the kernel loads. There
shouldn't be any started yet since it hasn't even got to a runlevel.
Your thoughts would be a logical one tho. If he has a service added to
both boot and default runlevels, then after it gets through the boot
level it will try to start the service a second time. You could be on
to at least one part of the problem. I'm not sure on the part after a
reboot tho.
