The file permissions are wrong.  Log in as root change to the
directory where the mysql databases are stored,  and reset the file
permissions. something like

cd /usr/local/var/mysql       #make this line where ever you databases
are
chown -R mysqluser *       # change mysqluser to the username you use
to run mysql

This will set permissions on all log files and databases.
