Dear Marek, Phillip and all, Frist I would like to say thanks to Marek, Phillip and someone help me before ! Finially, the server is running ( need to use the command #mysql --host=192.10.0.113).
But I still have some question would like to ask, if you don't mind ! How I can set a different user to run MySQL (only root can run this program now) ? bash-2.03$ ./mysql --host=192.10.0.113 bash: ./mysql: Permission denied Thanks a lot, Kevin Chan > <Phillip B.
