Thanks! That makes senses. And once I chmod as instructed, I can create
directory in the mysql folder.

How can find the user mysql password? The hosting company which I got the
dedicated server package from set that up of course. Should I go to phpAdmin
and reset that password so that I know what it is from now on?

The mysql linux user should not be able to login interactivly, just as they
should not have a shell. To do anything as the mysql user, simply become
root, then 'su - mysql'. You will not be asked for a password.
example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tom]$ su -
Password:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# su - mysql
-bash-2.05b$ id
uid=100(mysql) gid=101(mysql) groups=101(mysql)
-bash-2.05b$
