Hello,
There is a documentation error the MySQL manual:
--------------------------------------------------------------
4.6 Installing a MySQL Binary Distribution
9.Change ownership of the installation directory to the user that you will
run mysqld as:
shell> chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql
shell> chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql
--------------------------------------------------------------
This will not work since /usr/local/mysql is a symbolic link and
at least the GNU versions of chown -R and chgrp -R do not work
with symbolic links. The manual should say:
shell> chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql-VERSION-OS
shell> chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql-VERSION-OS
--------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks,
Neil
