I am running Whitebox linux 4 and have MySql 4 installed. When I run the mysqld_safe file, mysql starts then immediately stops.
It does give me the message that it is starting with "databases from /var/lib/mysql" In the mysqld.log file I see - "[ERROR] /user/libexec/mysqld: Can't fine file: './mysql/host.frm" (errno: 13) [ERROR] Fatal error: Can't open privilege tables: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' errno: 13)" The file host.frm is in the directory /var/lib/mysql/mysql/ I am logged in as root when I run mysqld_safe. I have tried it as with the same result. This is my first attempt to run mysql on a linux server and I am hopeful for a few instructions from a more experienced user. Thank you for any help.
