>Description: Followed steps to install binary distribution, including adding mysql user to group mysql. The user exists. When you run bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql & or if you run bin/mysqld --user=mysql & or if you run bin/mysqld --user=#UID & then it gives this error. No error if you su mysql first then run the command. >How-To-Repeat: install the binary distribution, follow documented setup steps >Fix: you can su mysql then run safe_mysqld.
