>Description:
I followed the installation steps as provided at:
www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Installing.html#Installing_binary
When I ran 'bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysqld &' mysqld would not start.
When I did an ls -l, here's what I got:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mysql root 32 Feb 20 19:09 mysql ->
mysql-3.23.33-pc-linux-gnu-i686/
drwxr-xr-x 12 505 mysql 4096 Feb 12 02:37 mysql-3.23.33-pc-linux-gnu-i686
So I did this:
# chown -R mysql mysql-3.23.33-pc-linux-gnu-i686/
after which the ls -l returned:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mysql root 32 Feb 20 19:09 mysql ->
mysql-3.23.33-pc-linux-gnu-i686/
drwxr-xr-x 12 mysql mysql 4096 Feb 12 02:37 mysql-3.23.33-pc-linux-gnu-i686
Now running './bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &' went fine.
I am new to Linux, so I am not sure if it's a bug or feature when the chown didn't
transfer to the actual directory.
>How-To-Repeat:
see description
>Fix:
run chown on the actual directory in addition to the symbolic link.
