>Description: Down loaded bin/mysqld Ver 3.23.49-max for pc-linux-gnu on i686 from U of Wisc site gunzipped and untarred in /usr/local ran mysql_install_db then ran ./bin/safe_mysqld & from install directory kept coming up with error 020303 5:20:41 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm ' (errno: 13). So I tried bin/safe_mysqld --basedir=/usr/local/mysql/data but it couldn't find language file so I made a share dir under data and copied recursively everything in /usr/local/install_dir/share to that directory and restarted with bin/safe_mysqld --basedir=/usr/local/mysql/data. Still the error about finding the ./mysql/host.frm. I looked into the script safe_mysqld but there was no cd in there so the binary must have it inside and it is not cd'ing to the proper dir from what I can figure out. How do I run it to get around this? Or is there some config like my.cnf to add/change to get around this problem? By the way I am running redhat 7.0 on an amd athlon 1.2GHz with 256megs memory and a 30gig hard drive. The install is the workstation version. The default install, there don't seem to be any resource problems, although I have had permission bit problems in the past so I have opened up all the pertinent directories to 777. >How-To-Repeat: Just have to try to start the server with bin/safe_mysqld >Fix: Tried above nothing gets the server to start.
