Ok, I guess Im gonna have to do this again I have a Slackware 8.0 distro with the apache, php, and mysql install pkgs off of the cd
I am logged in as root (not su'ed to root) and run the mysql_install_db script I run it with or without the --user=mysql qualifier in either case the databases are corrected, and the file permissions and ownership show that root owns all the database files with read and write access to the owner and the group. running safe_mysqld with or without the --user=mysql qualifier results in the same error "Table mysql.host doesnt exist" There are two tables created by the mysql_install_db script that are called host.xxx I assume that the mysql daemon is looking for one of those owned by mysql. The server will start if I send the --skip-grant-tables option Who wants to run a database with no grant tables???? Help.
