Hi,
The problem you ran into is because you didn't start mysqld the right way!
There are 3 options on how to start mysqld!
a) cd mysql-distribution-directory
./bin/safe_mysqld &
b) Make a symlink from the mysql distribution to /usr/local/mysql so that
you can start safe_mysqld from anywhere on the system
c) provide full paths to safe_mysqld and mysqld.

Subject: Error Code?
MySQL was working fine but now it seems to be giving me an error:
user:/usr/local/apache/bin# mysql -uusername -pmypassword
Can't read dir of '.' (Errcode: 2)
or
user:/usr/local/apache/bin# mysqladmin -uusername -pmypassword create
catalog
mysqladmin: create of 'catalog' failed error: 'Can't create database
'catalog'. (errno: 2)'
Any ideas?
