I am trying to install: mysql-standard-4.0.14-sun-solaris2.8-sparc.tar
on a Solaris 8 system. I am getting this message in the .err file: 030910 11:05:41 mysqld started 030910 11:05:41 InnoDB: Started 030910 11:05:41 Fatal error: Can't open privilege tables: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13) 030910 11:05:41 Aborting I haven't been able to find any reference to that file in any of the MySQL documentation. I've tried creating such a file, but the message remains unchanged. I am doing a little weird install. The commands and scripts go into /usr/local/bin and the database lives in /local/mysql. I have added symbolic cross links. Anyone have any ideas? Craig A. Finseth [EMAIL PROTECTED] Firwood Consulting, Inc.
