does your system errors when starting mysqld?
Hello Danny,
Thanks for the info. With it, I've gotten considerably further down
the road before my next blow out. I've relocated mysql to
/usr/local/mysql, and then made /usr/local/mysql/tmp my data directory,
as I was getting errors that my local account "mysql" didn't have
permission to create ./ibdata1.
Once that was accomplisghed, the following appeared to accomplish the db
creation:
./mysqld_safe --user=mysql --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/tmp
Now I have the following in my /usr/local/mysql/tmp directory:
ls -l
total 41014
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql Other 2870 Jun 16 13:29 hazy.err
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql nobody 5242880 Jun 16 13:29 ib_logfile0
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql nobody 5242880 Jun 16 13:22 ib_logfile1
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql nobody 10485760 Jun 16 13:27 ibdata1
significantly, the hazy.err file contains:
050616 13:29:26 mysqld started
050616 13:29:26 InnoDB: Database was not shut down normally!
InnoDB: Starting crash recovery.

'mysql.host' doesn't exist
050616 13:29:26 mysqld ended
So far, I haven't found anything on the net which corrects this
situation, though the error shows up with pretty good regularity.
I made sure that I had a datadir definition in /etc/my.cnf:
datadir=/usr/local/mysql/tmp
but that doesn't seem to have corrected the problem.

hello Paul,
i have had the same trouble for a long time, because i moved the data
directory and mysql wasn't able to find the system tables also i ran the
mysql_install_db in the wrong way.
i have created an install script which only works on suse linux, because
of its user and group creation. but i did the following thing for
installation:
- first creating a user and group named as mysql
- than installing mysql by binaries -> i copied the dirs/files into
/etc/mysql/prodocut/{version}/
- creating the soft-link in /usr/local
- than running the script mysql_install_db -> not in the directory
script, but an upper level so i run: ./scripts/mysql_install_db
after that i assigned the user permissions: user root and group mysql on
the install directory. user mysql group mysql on the datadir.
i have used this my.cnf as start up -> please change if you'd like.
[client]
host="localhost"
port=3306
socket="/tmp/mysql.sock"

password="your password"

lower_case_table_names=1
if changing your datadir, be sure to copy the entire data directory
which was created by mysql after running the script and assign the
proper permissions. (create it first than copy it to the desired location.)
running the script 'mysql_install_db' needed to be done directly in the
main directory of mysql and not in the script directory it self. (run
./scripts/mysql_install_db)
