Hello.
> What am I missing? I installed MySQL using the installer package. Usually installer has run mysql_install_db, but if you still want to rerun it, invoke mysql_install_db with --user=mysql option under the root account, and fix possible issues with the rights using 'chmod' later. > '/usr/local/mysql-standard-5.0.15-osx10.3-powerpc/data/' (Errcode: 13) Really the problem is in the permissions, check the rights for /usr/local/mysql-standard-5.0.15-osx10.3-powerpc directory. Have you tried just to start MySQL Server? See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/unix-post-installation.html Bruce Martin wrote: > Hello all, > > I just installed MySQL 5 on Mac OS 10.3.9.
