If memory serves... There were some permission problems in RHL 7, fixed in an errata a couple of days after release. The most common problem for a while was people running mysql_install_db as root - the dbs will be created, but owned by root. The database doesn't run as root, and can't write to it. There has been a workaround for that in the initscripts as well. -- Trond Eivind Glomsrød Red Hat, Inc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
