Hi, I am trying to install Mysql on linux which I don't have a root access. I have done the folowing :
1. Download source files from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ and un-tar thwm 2. configure the instalation using ./configure as: CFLAGS="-O3" CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O3 -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" ; \ ./configure --prefix=/bubo/home/h10/javad/scratch/mysql \ --enable-assembler \ --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static \ --with-client-ldflags=-all-static \ --with-mysqld-user=javad \ --with-unix-socket-path=/bubo/home/h10/javad/scratch/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock \ --localstatedir=/bubo/home/h10/javad/scratch/mysql/share \ --datadir=/bubo/home/h10/javad/scratch/mysql/data\ --enable-thread-safe-client 3. execute ./bin/mysql_install_db 4. execute bin/mysqld_safe & to run mysql. but at this point I get the folowing error: Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /bubo/home/h10/javad/scratch/mysql/data ./bin/mysqld_safe: line 394: /var/log/mysqld.log: Permission denied ./bin/mysqld_safe: line 402: /var/log/mysqld.log: Permission denied STOPPING server from pid file /bubo/home/h10/javad/scratch/mysql/data/the.pid tee: /var/log/mysqld.log: Permission denied 111115 13:14:18 mysqld ended tee: /var/log/mysqld.log: Permission denied I don't know why I get this error since I have changed the my.cnf to err-log=/bubo/home/h10/javad/scratch/mysql/data/the.log pid-file=/bubo/home/h10/javad/scratch/mysql/data/the.pid Best regards, Javad Bakhshi,
