Hello.
Not enough information to make a conclusion. Please, send us information about MySQL and operating system versions. What value does your environment variable TMPDIR have? [snip] I am having a problem starting up mysql. I am unable to run the mysql_install_db routine. When I run it I keep getting the error - unable to write to /tmp/root/... Originally I got the error unable to write to /tmp but that has since changed to the first error. I'm not a newbee to IT or Linux. I tried chmod to change rights but that doesn't work. I'm forgetting something. Help.
