The /var/lib/mysql contains the following files: linux-bin.001 linux-bin.002 linux-bin.003 linux-bin.004 linux-bin.005 linux-bin.006 linux-bin.007 linux-bin.008 linux-bin.009 linux-bin.index linux-bin.err
the directory mysql the directory test directory mysql contains columns_priv.MYD columns_priv.MYI columns_priv.frm db.MYD db.MYI db.frm func.MYD func.MYI fun.frm host.MYD host.MYI host.frm tables_priv.MYD tables_priv.MYI tables_frm user.MYD user.MYI user.frm Directory test contains nothing When I remove all the files and recreate the directory using mysql_install_db then follow the directions for installing the privileges I get the same files, and the same errors. I am unable to use mysqladm create <databasename> since the mysql daemon is not running. It is my understanding that the database it is looking for is the permission files located in the /var/lib/mysql directories.
