I am pretty sure hat is due to the SELinux policy being set to restrictive. For the brute force fix try editing /etc/selinux/config and set the variable SELINUX=Permissive. There is a more subtle approach that maintains beeter security explained under the SELinux topic in the Fedora doc, sorry I don't have the link handy. Basically you can realx the policy via the "targetted" settings. Good luck //jjs

There was no mysql installed before so I've downloaded the packages and did what I usually do to install the packages. They install great. But when I try to run MySQL I have problems as it does not run. It tries for a while and then quits. I am using the 4.1.11-0.i386 version. I have checked the persmissions under /var/lib/mysql and they were user mysql group root. So I've changed to the MySQL group by using chgrp -R mysql /var/lib/mysql I've created an /etc/my.cnf file by copying the standard /usr/share/doc/packages/MySQL-server/my-medium.cnf It still does not work. My /var/log/messages file shows the following: Apr 13 23:53:35 presario2700 kernel: audit(1113458015.252:0): avc: denied { append } for pid=5693 exe=/usr/sbin/mysqld path=/var/lib/mysql/presario2700.err dev=hda5 ino=653099 scontext=root:system_r:mysqld_t tcontext=root:object_r:var_lib_t tclass=file Apr 13 23:53:35 presario2700 kernel: audit(1113458015.252:0): avc: denied { append } for pid=5693 exe=/usr/sbin/mysqld path=/var/lib/mysql/presario2700.err dev=hda5 ino=653099 scontext=root:system_r:mysqld_t tcontext=root:object_r:var_lib_t tclass=file Apr 13 23:53:35 presario2700 kernel: audit(1113458015.267:0): avc: denied { write } for pid=5693 exe=/usr/sbin/mysqld name=mysql dev=hda5 ino=653096 scontext=root:system_r:mysqld_t tcontext=root:object_r:var_lib_t tclass=dir Apr 13 23:53:35 presario2700 kernel: audit(1113458015.269:0): avc: denied { write } for pid=5693 exe=/usr/sbin/mysqld name=mysql dev=hda5 ino=653096 scontext=root:system_r:mysqld_t tcontext=root:object_r:var_lib_t tclass=dir Apr 13 23:54:10 presario2700 lsb_log_message: failed I have no idea what might be wrong.
