Question

MySQL Error: #1307 - Failed to CREATE PROCEDURE

Asked by: SummitDan

I'm trying to create a procedure using the same syntax successfully used on a different server with the same version of MySQL.  This is a new LAMP server (CentOS 5.2) so mysql may not be configured correctly.  I've checked the permissions in /var/lib/mysql and they look fine.

What configuration options might I need to change?

I've read some suggestions that mysql be reinstalled.  I'd rather not do that obviously, but if I must, how can I do this in a thorough manner?

Thanks for any feedback.

I'm having trouble finding the error log.  According to
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/error-log.html
the error log should be in the /var/lib/mysql directory with the .err extension, but i'm only seeing ib_logfile0, ib_logfile1.

I'm using
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.32 for redhat-linux-gnu (i686) using readline 5.1
and
PHP 5.2.9 (cli)

Check on your mysql configuration, if you have error log on, if you specify a name for it (hostname.err is the default) and the location of it.

I've found the log for my installation in /var/log/mysqld.log.  I'm not noticing any errors when I attempt to create the procedure, but there are some errors when mysql is started:

I tried running mysql_update, but I'm getting this:

Looking for 'mysql' as: mysql
Looking for 'mysqlcheck' as: mysqlcheck
Running 'mysqlcheck'...
mysqlcheck: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) when trying to connect
FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed

Is there a way to specify a password when running mysql_upgrade?  From the man page this doesn't seem to be the case.

I've sucessfully run mysql_update (thanks dmonzon), and there are no longer any errors appearing in the log, just the warning 'Forcing shutdown of 2 plugins'.

Now I'm getting a different error:

#1607 - Cannot create stored routine `calcResTotals`. Check warnings

Running
SHOW WARNINGS;
from the command line as the same user and using the same database returns an empty result set.  Is this the correct way to view warnings?

I've been trying to create the procedure from phpMyAdmin, but also from the command line and from a php script.  They all produce the same result.

Referencing this issue:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Database/MySQL/Q_23207493.html

I've attempted setting sql_mode = '' both in the my.cnf file and directly from the command line.  Still no joy.

 

by: SummitDanPosted on 2009-04-07 at 09:16:33ID: 24088930

I'm thinking this issue must pertain to my initial installation of the PHP/MySQL package.  I did this using the remi repository, following the guide at:
http://timt881.wordpress.com/2009/02/17/installing-phpmyadmin-and-php-52-on-a-centos-52-server/

Has any one else had success using this repository and/or PHP 5.2.9 with stored routines?

 

by: SummitDanPosted on 2009-04-09 at 14:37:17ID: 24111948

I had to use the \W option at the MySQL command line in order to see the warning, which was that the comments for the supplied routines were too long.  Deleting the comments solved the problem.

This appears to pertain to the 5.1.x branch of MySQL.
