The mysqld.log file says: 020717 13:05:05 mysqld started 020717 13:05:05 /usr/local/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13) 020717 13:05:05 mysqld ended
But I do see the host.frm file: -rw-rw---- 1 root root 8958 Jul 17 13:04 /var/lib/mysql/mysql/host.frm How did you fix this problem? I do have the /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock file...
