I'm new to the mySql product. I have installed the mySql binaries on my HPUX machine and followed the instructions.
I tested that the command line 'mysql' is working and I can create databases, users and import data. I wrote a simple C program that does mysql_init(NULL) and then connects to the database. However, when the program executes the mysql_init function, I get the following error: >>> InnoDB: Unable to lock /opt/mysql-standard-4.1.9-hp-hpux11.00-hppa2.0w/data/ibdata1, error: 13 InnoDB: Check that you do not already have another mysqld process InnoDB: using the same InnoDB data or log files. InnoDB: Error in opening /opt/mysql-standard-4.1.9-hp-hpux11.00-hppa2.0w/data/ibdata1 050207 17:22:12 InnoDB: Operating system error number 13 in a file operation. InnoDB: The error means mysqld does not have the access rights to InnoDB: the directory. InnoDB: Could not open or create data files. InnoDB: If you tried to add new data files, and it failed here, InnoDB: you should now edit innodb_data_file_path in my.cnf back InnoDB: to what it was, and remove the new ibdata files InnoDB created InnoDB: in this failed attempt. InnoDB only wrote those files full of InnoDB: zeros, but did not yet use them in any way. But be careful: do not InnoDB: remove old data files which contain your precious data! 050207 17:22:12 [ERROR] Can't init databases <<<<< I check the permission on the files and directories. The user 'mysql' and group 'mysql' have access to the data directory and to the files. Can someone direct my to a possible solution?
