2 things --
1) Permissions on your /mysql/data/ directory.
User mysql needs to have ownership, group mysql needs to have ownership
as well.
shell> groupadd mysql
shell> useradd -g mysql mysql
shell> chown -R root /path/to/mysql/.
shell> chown -R mysql /path/to/mysql/data/.
shell> chgrp -r mysql /path/to/mysql/.
2) Check the <hostname>.err file. It will tell you why you are getting those
errors. More than
likely the permissions.

Subject: Unable to start MySQL
Hello,
I have been trying to install and run MySQL on a Redhat Enterprise machine.
The installation appears to go just fine, but when I go to run it, MySQL
doesn't startup. Here is
what I have done so far:
INSTALLATION:
./configure --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl
--with-openssl-includes=/usr/local/ssl/include
--with-openssl-libs=/usr/local/ssl/lib --with-isam --with-archive-storage-engine
--with-csv-storage-engine make && make install /usr/bin/mysql_install_db
--user=mysql
After doing the above, I tried running MySQL with the following commands:
/usr/bin/safe_mysqld &
/usr/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &
Each of these resulted in this sort of response:
---
[EMAIL PROTECTED] usr]# /usr/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql & [1] 14204
[EMAIL PROTECTED] usr]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from
/var/lib/mysql
050215 11:31:25 mysqld ended
[1]+ Done /usr/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql
[EMAIL PROTECTED] usr]#
---
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.
---
Thank You,
Jason Williard
