Quite some time ago, I started doing a book of exercises. I got some work,
put it down, and now I need to start over. So I start up MySQL, do a "DROP
DATABASE [name];". And I'm answered by:
ERROR 1008: Can't drop database '[name]'. Database doesn't exist"

So I figure, okay, then I can CREATE it, right? This time I'm answered by:

ERROR 1006: Can't create database '[name]]. (errno: 17)"
 

Please check the ownership/permission of your data directory, which 
might deny what you are in now.

What's going on? Shouldn't be one or the other work?

Thank you.
