Your question IS for this list, as far as it concerns
MySQL. I do understand it like this, and I think many
people think this way here. Many of us strated here
with 'stupid' questions. These lists are a great thing,
I think, it's like a bread for newbies, and a way to join
also advanced users.. and anybody can take use of
these information exchanges. Otherwise would have
been much more difficult to get such a broad spread
of knowledge and experience. Thanx to the MySQL
team, also! They are doing a great job! And is for free!..
Regarding to your question:
you must identify what is the user and group
name (mysql? on RH7) of your mysqld, then issue a
command like
chgrp yourgrp -R mysql_dir
( ? chgrp mysql -R /usr/share/mysql )
if you don't know where your mysql directories are,
issue:
find / -name mysql
it simply does not have enough permissions to
write there. try it on all your mysql directories.
