Mysql daemon runs as the 'mysql' user Chown -r mysql:mysql /storage/mysql/data
Regards, Gavin Towey -----Original Message----- From: Carl [mailto:c...@etrak-plus.com] Sent: Friday, December 11, 2009 11:55 AM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: errno: 13 Fresh install of 5.1.41 on a brand new (Slackware 13 - 64 bit) machine. Installed from tar. Directory structure is: basedir=/usr/local/mysql and datadir=/storage/mysql/data. I am currently running as root. The permissions on the directories in /storage/mysql/data are 766 (I have double and triple checked this.) I have created the mysql data tables by running mysql_install_db... it seemed to complete without error: r...@mysql3:/usr/local/mysql/scripts# ./mysql_install_db --datadir=/storage/mysql/data --basedir=/usr/local/mysql -uroot Installing MySQL system tables... OK Filling help tables... OK To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h 10.10.10.31 password 'new-password' Alternatively you can run: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_secure_installation which will also give you the option of removing the test databases and anonymous user created by default. This is strongly recommended for production servers. See the manual for more instructions. You can start the MySQL daemon with: cd /usr/local/mysql ; /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe & You can test the MySQL daemon with mysql-test-run.pl cd /usr/local/mysql/mysql-test ; perl mysql-test-run.pl Please report any problems with the /usr/local/mysql/scripts/mysqlbug script! The latest information about MySQL is available at http://www.mysql.com/ Support MySQL by buying support/licenses from http://shop.mysql.com/ I then ran /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe -uroot & which produced the following error report: 091211 13:19:18 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /storage/mysql/data 091211 13:19:18 [Warning] Ignoring user change to 'root' because the user was set to 'mysql' earlier on the command line 091211 13:19:18 [Note] Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled. 091211 13:19:18 [Warning] /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: ignoring option '--innodb-use-sys-malloc' due to invalid value 'ON' ^G/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/plugin.frm' (errno: 13) 091211 13:19:18 [ERROR] Can't open the mysql.plugin table.

The second error, InnoDB: File name /storage/mysql/data/ibdata1 InnoDB: File operation call: 'create' is probably the show stopper.
