I believe root has all permissions. I'm using Webmin to verify it. I started it with -u root but still got the same error.
Since I installed with the RPM didn't it give root permission? -----Original Message----- From: Scott Pippin [mailto:spippin@;mtctrains.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 10:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Installation Help Scott Pippin [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> "Phil Iovino" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/12/02 08:13AM >>> >I'm trying to install MySQL under RedHat 8.

Any ideas? Did you set up root as a user? If you did, try "/usr/bin/safe_mysqld -u root If not set up a user. http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Adding_users.html hope this helps.
