I found a 'user=mysql' entry in the my.cnf I adapted from the source Support files directory that I had not noticed. I also learned that my shadow file had a mysql user I didn't know about (new addition to the slackware setup now that they include mysql binaries with the install files). I now have mysql (4.0 alpha) running, but I had to add a '--skip-innodb' line to the startup. I get an Error 21 if I allow Innodb to be started. IS there a quick answer to this (like innodb needs to have the user specified somewhere) or will I have to go through all the Innodb documentation? Thanks for any help. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
