>>I'll bet you didn't run mysql_install_db with the --user=mysql option. chown -R mysql.mysql /var/lib/mysql should do the trick.
That's right, because I didn't see anything to that effect in the manual, although the manual is a little confusing at this point. Following another post (not in response to mine) I did a chmod on the mysql dir and its contents and that seemed to do the trick. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
