Shell Script Syntax Error: Unexpected End of File [duplicate]

Answer 1

Indentation when using a block can cause this error and is very hard to find.

if [ ! -d /var/lib/mysql/mysql ]; then
   /usr/bin/mysql --protocol=socket --user root << EOSQL
        SET @@SESSION.SQL_LOG_BIN=0;
        CREATE USER 'root'@'%';
   EOSQL
fi

=> Example above will cause an error because EOSQL is indented. Remove indentation as shown below. Posting this because it took me over an hour to figure out the error.

if [ ! -d /var/lib/mysql/mysql ]; then
   /usr/bin/mysql --protocol=socket --user root << EOSQL
        SET @@SESSION.SQL_LOG_BIN=0;
        CREATE USER 'root'@'%';
EOSQL
fi
