After posting yesterday about mysql_install_db haning when it says "Installing all prepared tables" I've tried the rpm version, and it hangs in the exact same place. How do I get it to work? The other posts suggest that it's a permissions problem. If that's the case, what do my permissions need to be? I've tried setting various ownerships and privs and nothing works. I've also tried "scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql" and that doesn't work either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm about to tear all my hair out.
