>Description: I downloaded mysql-standard-5.0.27-solaris8-sparc-64bit.pkg from the MySQL site, and installed it by a default pkgadd - it installed itself under /opt/mysql/mysql. I then ran mysql_install_db as root with single option --user=mysql, and then tried mysqld_safe but it failed. So I ran it again with: bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql --verbose --log-error=/tmp/mysql.error.log and saw that the problem was: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.host' doesn't exist >How-To-Repeat: See Description. >Fix: I re-ran mysql_install_db with explicit datadir setting: mysql_install_db --user=mysql --datadir=/opt/mysql/mysql/data >Submitter-Id: unknown >Originator: >Organization: Personeta, Let. >MySQL support: none >Synopsis: mysql_install_db does not use correct datadir >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Category: mysql >Class: doc-bug >Release: mysql-5.0.27-standard (MySQL Community Edition - Standard (GPL)) >Server: /usr/bin/mysqladmin Ver 8.41 Distrib 5.0.27, for sun-solaris2.8 on sparc Copyright (C) 2000 MySQL AB & MySQL Finland AB & TCX DataKonsult AB This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
