A bit of an update. I've come around full circle, so I'm ready to scream. I finally noticed that the usernames didn't match -- the safe_mysqld script assumes username mysql, but I use mysql_att, etc for different machines. So. I fixed that, and reran safe_mysqld. Now I get can't find host.frm. Aha, I say. I know what that is. So I run the scripts/mysql_install_db. That runs. OK, cool, now I set the root password. [11:23am] root@attalus> ./bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password '***' Enter password: *** ./bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. OK, so the sticky bit is set on the /tmp dir, so I'm guessing this is still a matter of an access problem. But I thought the script took care of that.
