Hello JD, You need to look beyond the first error messages:
> /usr/libexec/mysqld: Table 'mysql.plugin' doesn't exist > 090127 10:00:30 [ERROR] Can't open the mysql.plugin table. Please run > mysql_upgrade to create it. but keep reading: > 090127 10:00:30 InnoDB: Operating system error number 13 in a file > operation. > InnoDB: The error means mysqld does not have the access rights to > InnoDB: the directory. > InnoDB: File name ./ibdata1 > InnoDB: File operation call: 'open'. > InnoDB: Cannot continue operation. That's what is really keeping mysqld from starting. You just need to chown/chmod the data directory or run mysqld as the proper user. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
