Hi all,

Have built mysql (mysql-3.23.49.tar.gz)

        --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --with-named-z-libs=no --with-low-memory --enable
-assembler

on a new Solaris machine that we have (v 2.8, patched to June 8_Reccomended
patch level).

The configure, make and install seemed to go ok and were done as root.

I have run the ./scripts/mysql_install_db script and then (here comes the
problem) tried to startup the server.

cd /usr/local/mysql
./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &

but the bad news is that it doesn't appear to work:

# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/var
020814 12:00:18  mysqld ended

when I look in the .err file (usr/local/mysql/var/hostname.domain.err), I
see : (tail hostname.domain.err)

---snip
020814 11:28:44  mysqld started
020814 11:28:44  /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld: Can't create/write to file
'/usr/local/mysql/var/hostname.domain.pid' (Errcode: 13)
020814 11:28:44  /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file:
'./mysql/host .frm' (errno: 13)
020814 11:28:44  /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld: Error on delete of
'/usr/local/mysql/var/hostname.domain.pid' (Errcode: 13)
020814 11:28:44  mysqld ended
----snip

So I checked the ownership on the /usr/local/mysql/var directory etc:

 chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/var
 chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/var

and ls -al shows that this lot seems ok :

What am I missing ? Any ideas on the cause of this problem ?

Thanks for your assistance (would be grateful for direct as well as list
response as I am slower in wading through the lists than I would like!),

Regards,

Mark
