mysql - unable to connect to system bus: failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket -


i started use new vps system ubuntu 12.04

after following commands here installed php, mysql, apache2

php , apache working great when run :

service mysql start  

i : unable connect system bus: failed connect socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: no such file or directory.

i googled didn't find enough me.

there no /var/run/dbus/ directory , don't know need create 1 or if problem mysql.

i had error message , discovered sign initctl (the 'init daemon control tool') being called (indirectly) without necessary privileges.

in other words:

it failed because:

  • i not logged in root user,
  • nor prefixing 'daemon control' command sudo.

either 1 have solved issue.

it's bit confusing because have thought 'privilage issue' trigger error message talks 'privilage thangs'. but, no. talks being "unable connect system bus".

so, may suggest:

try temporarily elevating privileges prefixing command sudo.

assuming hash symbol (#) indicates command prompt, run following command instead:

# sudo service mysql start  

then, type in user password prompted.

or

if have set password root user on installation of ubuntu, elevate super user typing:

# su 

then, type in root password prompted.

then, in this context, original command should, now, work:

# service mysql start  

see it's man page description more information initctl's connection service start, stop, restart, reload , status commands.
