I must be a moron but I can't seem to figure out what I need to do to get
mysql to work on RH, on Mandrake it just worked straight away.
I read and followed the instructions in the INSTALL-BINARY (inspite of the
fact that the way red hat installed mysql does not even closely resemble the
instructions) but mysql will not come up.
This is the error log:
010917 11:26:38 mysqld started
010917 11:26:38 /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm'
(errno: 13)
010917 11:26:38 mysqld ended
010917 11:32:09 mysqld started
010917 11:32:10 /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't create/write to file
'/var/run/mysqld.pid' (Errcode: 13)
010917 11:32:10 /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm'
(errno: 13)
010917 11:32:10 /usr/libexec/mysqld: Error on delete of
'/var/run/mysqld.pid' (Errcode: 2)
010917 11:32:10 mysqld ended
There must be some secret bit of knowledge that is obvious to everybody else
and i'm just not reading the right document or something. I'm sure somebody
has been able to install MySQL via the RPMs and get it to work.
Can anyone help me with this?
Do I need to create a user called mysql and add them to the group root? I'm
suspicious of the permission problems...
thanks for your time...
