I have just installed mysql 4.1.7 on Mandrake 10.0 (final).
All went smoothly.
However, when I issue the following command:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
I get the error:
Can't create/write to file /root/tmp/ibLmfg7w (Errcode: 13)
When I examine the error file in /usr/local/mysql/var it says it cannto read /root and it
cannot write to /root/tmp
If I give others (beside root) r permission to /root and rw permissions to /root/tmp,
it start up fine.
I have looked as startup options for the mysqld_safe as well as the /etc/my.cnf file but have not found anyway to alter where it wants to write its temp files.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks,
Gail
