[snip] I'm using version 3.23.58. I tried to create a database foo using phpAdmin(logged in as root) and got: ERROR 1006: Can't create database 'foo'. (errno: 13) ... drwx--x--x 2 mysql root 4096 Sep 15 10:34 mysql [/snip]
>perror 13 Error code 13: Permission denied File permissions look ok at that level, and I would assume that mysql user can get to that directory. You could login to your linux box as root then 'su - mysql' and see if you can create a directory in the mysql datadir as the mysql user. This isn't a grant table issue because I believe that will give you an access denied error. --- Tom Crimmins Interface Specialist Pottawattamie County, Iowa -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
