I"ve searched about and still haven't been able to resolve my problem.
Scenario: 1) OS is RH 7.3. 2) Installing MySQL 4.04-Pro binary tarball. 3) Ordinary user, "userX.grpX", is installing tarball themselves on a shared server accessed via telnet. 4) This installation will be userX's instance only, however, there are other MySQL server's running at this site. 5) All directories/files for this installation/implementation are owned by "userX.grpX" who has non-root access. 6) Modified "my.cnf" with unique values including port, socket, bind-address, relevant paths and values so as not to step on other installations/implentations. 7) "my.cnf" is passed through "mysqld_safe" using "--defaults-file=" option. 8) "mysql_installdb" is run. 9) "mysql.server" is run. Results: 1) "mysqld" runs with the following log snippets: Error Log: "Warning: One can only use the --user switch if running as root". mysqld Log: "/unique-path-to-userX-installed-mysql/bin/mysqld, Version: 4.0.4-beta-log, started with: Tcp port: 3307 Unix socket: /unique-path-to-userX-area/temp/mysql.sock" 2) When the user tries to run "mysql", "mysqladmin" and etc the following error message is received: "ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)". Please note that no passwords have been setup as of yet because we can't get pass the access issue. Thank You In Advance!
