That's probably not a good idea. Better to chown only the files that MySQL expects to be owned by itself. Since /usr/local has tons of other software installed in it (probably) you don't want all of it to be owned by the MySQL user. > ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown database 'mysql' > FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed It sounds like mysql_install_db failed. It should create a database called 'mysql' which contains the master user/privilege table as well as other top-level stuff. If you go into the directory where the database files are actually stored, you should see a 'mysql' subdirectory there (as well as subdirectories for all of your other databases). If not, then it wasn't created properly. Jeff /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
