Hi Barry,
/usr/bin is in your $PATH, so no need to do those weird gyrations, so
sudo -s mysql_install_db --general-log
should just work. If not, then permissions on pre-existing directories
may be the problem?

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
