There is an error which I encountered and overcame while installing mysql which I suggest needs better coverage in the MySql manual.
Its caused by the default ownership on <datadir>/mysql being incorrect, and causes an error message like: "Cant find host.frm" in the log. A fix that worked for me is: cd /var/lib/mysql chown -R mysql.mysql ./* A quick search at google ("cant find host.frm") uncovered millions of people having the same trouble, eg: http://www.phpbuilder.com/forum/read.php3?num=3&id=107664&thread=103771 Its not an isolated or rare problem and needs to go into the manual or install script ASAP.
