Find out where your databases are located. Think /var/db/mysql is the default. Go there and type: chown -Rf mysql:mysql * to change ownership of databases and tables. Note that mysql:mysql is user:group and if the mysql-user and/or group is different from 'mysql' you should change it. :wq //andreas http://phpwizard.dk (in Danish only) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
