hello; I am having a spot of trouble getting to MySQL to start. Here is the message:
050407 22:43:49 mysqld started 050407 22:43:49 /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13) I looked this up and found a numerous references, all going back to permissions. In my case this is NOT a new install. It has been running for years as a test database. the permissions are fine: ll -d /var/lib/mysql drwxr-xr-x 4 mysql mysql 4096 Apr 9 16:15 /var/lib/mysql ll /var/lib/mysql drwx------ 2 mysql mysql 4096 Apr 7 22:39 mysql drwx------ 2 mysql mysql 4096 Feb 16 06:55 test I checked the /var/log/mysql.log and the above is all I see. I looked at the /var/log/messages file and found this: Apr 6 05:18:17 cenozoic mysqld: Stopping MySQL: succeeded Apr 6 05:18:19 cenozoic kernel: audit(1112789899.123:0): avc: denied { read } for pid=8826 exe=/usr/libexec/mysqld name=host.frm dev=sda2 ino=605700 scontext=system_u:system_r:mysqld_t tcontext=root:object_r:var_lib_t tclass=file Apr 6 05:18:29 cenozoic mysqld: Starting MySQL: failed I had the 'bright' idea to grab the file from another system, on the possibility that the file had been corrupted. No change. (I put the original one back.) So, I am stumped. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. -- regards, allen wayne best, esq "your friendly neighborhood rambler owner" "my rambler will go from 0 to 105" Current date: 8:6:16::98:2005 The real reason psychology is hard is that psychologists are trying to do the impossible. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
