Hi: I have version 4.0.20 on slack 10.0. Mysqld fails on startup. >From mysqld is the following:
50821 11:10:44 mysqld started 050821 11:10:44 Warning: Can't create test file /var/lib/mysql/linus.lower-test ^G/usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't change dir to '/var/lib/mysql/' (Errcode: 13) 050821 11:10:44 Aborting 050821 11:10:44 /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown Complete 050821 11:10:44 mysqld ended --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not much of a linux system guru, and I am guessing from the messages above that I have a problem with permissions. Can anyone point me to the solution?
