For those who read my earlier posting about mySQL troubles, I am also seeing the following error when trying to run the mysql_install_db script:
/usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't create/write to file '/var/log/mysql.log' (Errcode: 13) However, this is what I have in the /var/log dir - as you can see the mysql.err files are the same and have no problems. I've even tried chmod'ing mysql.log to 777 with no success. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 984 Sep 21 10:47 mysql.err -rw-rw-r-- 1 root mysql 637 Sep 21 06:25 mysql.err.1.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 root mysql 32 Sep 18 06:25 mysql.err.2.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 root mysql 32 Sep 17 06:25 mysql.err.3.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 21 11:08 mysql.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 20 06:25 mysql.log.1 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root mysql 32 Sep 18 06:25 mysql.log.3.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 root mysql 32 Sep 17 06:25 mysql.log.4.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 root mysql 32 Sep 16 06:25 mysql.log.5.gz kitty:/var/log# Any suggestions? ====================================== Marcus Hecht [EMAIL PROTECTED] (R) Support Supervisor PCEZ.COM (R) - Internet Services http://www.pcez.com (R) 503-639-0828 Ext. 105 -------------------------------------- PCEZ.COM is a registered trademark for PCs Made Easy, LLC ======================================
