This is probably a simple question.  I installed MySQL about a month ago
on Mac OS X and I am new to this.  During the installation (as root) I
created a directory /var/mysql-data.  Then, following the installation
instructions:

#chown mysql:mysql /var/mysql-data
#chmod 770 /var/mysql-data

The problem is that I am denied access to all of the databases I have
created - permission denied except when I connect to the server.  When I
look in PathFinder, the owner is listed as mysql.  NetInfo tells me that
I have such a user, that it is the MySQL server.  If I gave mysql a
password, I do not remember it.  I did set up a mysql root with
password, and using Navicat I have created another user.

Should I not see my databases in /var/mysql-data either in the terminal
or the Finder?

Hi, Walter -

What's the exact error there?  We can't tell if you're talking about
file permissions, or actual database permissions.

Thanks
