1. Get rid of the offending $hostname.index file that keeps track of
binlogs (Thanks, Olaf!).
2. Fix permissions (Thanks, Gerald Clark!).
Have a nice day!

You can either:
- move the missing binlog file where mysql is looking for it
- delete the $hostname.index file that keeps track of binlogs
- disable binlog

Hi Everyone.
I had a perfectly good working version of MySQL and then I decided to
try something new... Now, I can start up as root with mysqld, but
when I start with mysqld_safe as I always have in the past, mysqld
quits immediately. Here's the saga:
I decided to use phpmyadmin to change all my user passwords to SHA1.
After reloading MySQL, I couldn't connect with ANY password. In order
to reset root, I tried starting with a mysql-init file. That didn't
work, so I started with mysqld and --skip-grant-tables. After
resetting the root password, I was able to check and repair the mysql
database tables, as well as fix all the other user passwords. I also
used mysqladmin to flush and refresh everything.
When I tried to start with my usual startup script, which references
mysqld_safe, MySQL started and then immediately quit. I got an error
in my log, "Failed to open log (file '/usr/local/mysql-5.0.41-
osx10.4-
i686/data/me-web2-bin.000027', errno 13)". I noticed this particular
file was now owned by root, so I chown'd it to mysql and restarted
mysqld_safe, which quit immediately.
I thought if there were no binary logs and no log index, it would
stop looking for that file, so I deleted all the -bin files and the
index. I restarted mysqld_safe, and it started and quit. I removed --
log-bin from my mysqld_safe startup options, restarted, and it quit.
Here is the log entry for a typical startup now:
-------------

070717 22:44:12 [Warning] No argument was provided to --log-bin, and
--log-bin-index was not used; so replication may break when this
MySQL server acts as a master and has his hostname changed!! Please
use '--log-bin=/usr/local/mysql/data/me-web2-bin' to avoid this
problem.

-------------
I'm not using replication, but I am using mirrored drives, and this
is the first time I've ever done that. Still, it didn't seem to be a
problem until I screwed up the passwords.
I'm just setting up a new server, so the tables and data are not dear
to me. Right now, I just want MySQL to work -- with logging!!
