If you had read the installation instructions, you would have seen
statements that looked like this...
cd /usr/local/mysql
./bin/mysql_install_db
Make sure that the "var" directory that is created grants access to the
'user' that MySQL is running as... (otherwise I'm sure we'll be getting
another Email asking why it still doesn't work...)
I'm not being 'sarcastic' or 'disrespectful', it's just that it's almost 1
AM...
