I just installed mysql-3.23.43, apache-1.3.22, and php-4.0.6 all from source this evening (on freebsd-4.4-r). When I try to run safe_mysqld I get this;
mysqld started Fatal error: Can't change to run as user 'mysql' ; Please check that the user exists! Aboring I see in the file passwd that the user mysql does not indeed exist. I have run /bin/mysql_install_db and it appears to run okay. I checked the online docs but they always refer to running mysql_install_db to set up the mysql user. Is it okay to manually add a new user to FreeBSD called mysql? I tried this but it doesn't work still. What should I do next? -- Chip W. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
