* Gleb Paharenko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [050711 07:17]: Hello Gleb: > Check that you have correct permissions set on MySQL datadir. > See: > http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysql-install-db.html I will add to the comments above. I had to set the owner and group to mysql as per my redhat setup.
More problems tho: ================== When invoking mysql, I get the following error message: """ Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket at 'var/lib/run/mysql/mysql.sock' """ hmm! mysql.sock was created at var/lib/mysql. owner=mysql, permissions=777 So again, is there paths/permissions problems? The following is in /etc/my.cnf ---------------------------------------------- [mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock [mysql.server] user=mysql basedir=/var/lib [safe_mysqld] err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid ------------------------------------------------- Thank you for your help so far. Further support greatly appeciated. :-) Further pointers to docs invited!
