Hi all could someone please elucidate for me on what is happening when I try to 
set up mysql.

As root I cd to /usr, then run ./bin/mysql_install_db --general-log. this 
returns 'Installing MariaDB/MySQL system tables in '/var/lib/mysql' ...' but 
nothing turns up there!

After many days trying, and searching I found the files in 
'/home/barry/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/mysql' although in my.cfg the server 
base directory is set to /usr

This has occurred on both the mageia2 and mageia4 distros. The 3 general-log 
files are of no use they only contain machine code. As it appears I may have 
tried this last year I tried renaming the mysql db and rerunning the cmd but no 
joy.

Can someone help please.

TIA
