bash: /usr/sbin/mysqld: No such file or directory

I'm using this tutorial on How to recover MySQL data from Innodb which provides the following steps:

  1. Restore data (ibdata1, ib_logfile0 and ib_logfile1 files) into the normal MySQL data directory ( /var/lib/mysql )
  2. Move to data directory /var/lib/mysql
  3. Run the command ls -l to find the size of your Innodb logfiles

  4. The output looks like this:

    -rw-rw—- 1 mysql mysql 5242880 Jun 25 11:30 ib_logfile0 -rw-rw—- 1 mysql mysql 5242880 Jun 25 11:30 ib_logfile1

  5. Run su mysql

  6. And run this /usr/sbin/mysqld –innodb_log_file_size=5242880 –innodb_force_recovery=6 Note the number 5242880 is what I've got on step 4

Now I'm getting this error bash: /usr/sbin/mysqld: No such file or directory . What do I miss or what should I install ?

Any help would be appreciated thanks

Mysql is 5.5.4

Solution

  • Finally solved the problem by uninstalling and install again mysqlServer and taking the entire mysql directory /var/lib/mysql content from my backup to the new directory . I have all tables and data .
