I am trying to install mysql in a non-standard directory - specifically /app/mysql
Subsequently, I ran the following configure command: ./configure --prefix=/app/mysql --with-plugins=innobase,myisam There were no problems with the compile, but mysql failed to start. Furthermore, the following output was produced in the nohup.out file -bash-3.2$ cat nohup.out 090211 09:40:35 mysqld_safe Logging to '/var/log/mysqld.log'. mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/lib/mysql': Permission denied chown: cannot access `/var/lib/mysql': No such file or directory chmod: cannot access `/var/lib/mysql': No such file or directory 090211 09:40:35 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql /app/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe: line 96: /var/log/mysqld.log: Permission denied /app/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe: line 133: /var/log/mysqld.log: Permission denied 090211 09:40:35 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid ended /app/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe: line 96: /var/log/mysqld.log: Permission denied For some reason, the mysql install is looking to /var even though I specificied /app/mysql in the compile. How do I fix this? Thanks! Colin -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
