Fatal error: Please read “Security” section of the manual to find out how to run mysqld as root

Question

I am not sure how to fix this:

dyn-72-33-214-45:python mona$ sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld stop
2014-09-06 09:49:04 0 [Warning] TIMESTAMP with implicit DE         


        

Answer 1

The correct answer that worked for me on CentOS is

/etc/init.d/mysql restart

which is an init script and not /etc/init.d/mysqld restart, which is binary

The is in fact comment of @MrTux on the question which worked for me. It took quite a bit of my time hence posting it as answer.
