Is there a configure option to tell mysql not to put logs in /var/log? I don't want to run mysql as root if I can avoid it, and my /var/log directory requires root access.
I tried using --localstatedir=$HOME/mysql-state, but that didn't help. I determined that mysql wouldn't start up correctly because it couldn't write to /var/log, by using strace. I'm doing this on a Fedora Core 2 system, and the version of MySQL I'm looking at is 4.0.20. Is this a reasonably current version of MySQL? I'm getting it as part of a bugzilla-building script called "bugzilla-installer".
