I suspect the cause is that /var/lib/mysql is not owned by mysql If so, as superuser: chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql Regards, Imran Chaudhry -- http://www.ImranChaudhry.info MySQL Database Management & Design Services -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------- Yahoo!
