-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Is it /var/run/mysql or /var/run/mysqld? You should probably recreate /var/run/mysqld and set the permissions. /var/run/mysqld must have mysql:mysql permissions (drwxr-xr-x) And make /etc/my.cnf a symlink to /etc/mysql/my.cnf CLI utilities

Is their anything else that should not be root root in /var/run or /var/tmp ?? Probably. It depends on the programs you've installed. Next time use cp -Rp to preserve the permissions. Sasha -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
