I have moved my base and data directories at /data/mysql on my system and /data/mysql is owned by user mysql. Earlier these were located at /var/lib/mysql
my /etc/my.cnf has following entries:
# The following options will be passed to all MySQL clients [client] #password = your_password port = 3306 socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
# Here follows entries for some specific programs
# The MySQL server [mysqld] port = 3306 socket = /tmp/mysql.sock skip-locking key_buffer = 16M max_allowed_packet = 1M table_cache = 64 sort_buffer_size = 512K net_buffer_length = 8K myisam_sort_buffer_size = 8M
set-variable = datadir=/data/mysql/ set-variable = bdb_home=/data/mysql/ set-variable = basrdir=/data/mysql/
When I try to start mysql using mysqld_safe & I get following error: Starting mysqld-max daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql /usr/bin/mysqld_safe: line 307: /var/lib/mysql/linux.err: Permission denied /usr/bin/mysqld_safe: line 313: /var/lib/mysql/linux.err: Permission denied STOPPING server from pid file /var/lib/mysql/linux.pid tee: /var/lib/mysql/linux.err: Permission denied 050306 03:33:03 mysqld ended tee: /var/lib/mysql/linux.err: Permission denied
I tried using mysqld_safe --basedir=/data/mysql --datadir=/data/mysql --user=mysql &
Then I get error
Starting mysqld-max daemon with databases from /data/mysql
/usr/bin/mysqld_safe: line 307: /data/mysql/linux.err: Permission denied
/usr/bin/mysqld_safe: line 313: /data/mysql/linux.err: Permission denied

050306 03:08:03 mysqld ended

It used to work fine when I had /var/lib/mysql folder still there. The data was getting written at /data/mysql. But when I moved the /var/lib/mysql folder to some other directory the problem started.
I have suse 9.2. I am frustrated trying different things and I read all I could regarding this but dont seem to point out exact problem.
I really need to get this thing done and I would really appreciate any ideas or direction.
Thanks
