Hi everyone, I tried to install mysql (v3.23.30-gamma) on a SuSE Linux 7.1. Everything seems to work fine, but whenever I start the safe_mysqld, it ends after few seconds. I did install the databases, but there seems to be a problem with the directory-structure - however I have no idea how I ran into it and how to resolve it. Maybe that helps you understand my problem: I did: mysql_install_db that worked fine. I do: ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql & I get: Starting mysql daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql mysqld ended. so its not running. I look in /var/lib/mysql/bioz3-visit1.err and it says: 010424 18:06:10 mysqld started /usr/sbin/mysqld: File './bioz3-visit1-bin.index' not found (Errcode: 13) 010424 18:06:11 Could not use bioz3-visit1-bin for logging (error 13) 010424 18:06:11 /usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13) 010424 18:06:11 mysqld ended But host.frm exists, it is in /var/lib/mysql/host.frm _and_ in /var/lib/mysql/mysql/host.frm So, the problem is easy: Something is screwed with my directories. However I can not figure out 1) how this happened (I did a standart installation under YAST without any special wishes about directories or whatever) 2) more importantly, HOW DO I GET MYSQL RUNNING !!!??? Please, help me if you can. I really don't know what to do... Any idea what to do? Which information do you need to help me? I have close to zero experience with SQL, so any help is greatly appreciated! Many thanks for your time!!
