Greetings, I downloaded the mysql-max-3.23.42-pc-sco3.2v5.0.6-i386 from MySQL website. I installed it per the INSTALL-BINARY readme file.
When I try (from /usr/local/mysql) issue: bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql & It starts and immediately stops mysqld. The .err file contains 020904 21:41:45 mysqld started 020904 21:41:45 bdb: /var/opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.6Ga/usr/local/mysql-max-3.23.42-pc-sco3.2v5.0.6-i386 /data/log.0000000001: Permission denied 020904 21:41:45 bdb: PANIC: Permission denied 020904 21:41:45 Can't init databases 020904 21:41:45 mysqld ended I have changed the ownership/group as per the instructions and I even went so far as to set the permission on the data directory to 777. Still no joy. Any ideas what step I missed? thanks in advance, Darryl --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
