Hi, If you get
" Sorry, the host 'xxxx' could not be looked up " error message when you run mysql_install_db, or if you get the " getpwnam: No such file or directory " error message while running mysqld with --user option, Then try any of these solutions: a.. Get a MySQL source distribution either an RPM or the tar.gz distribution and install this instead. b.. Execute mysql_install_db --force; This will not execute the resolveip test in mysql_install_db. The downside is that you can't use host names in the grant tables; you must use IP numbers instead of host names except for localhost. If you are using an old MySQL release that doesn't support --force, you have to remove the resolveip test in mysql_install with an editor. c.. Start mysqld with su instead of using --user.
