The problem you are having is a result of the permissions that are set on the data and log directories that are identified in my.cnf, and is documented in the MySQL Reference Manual. If you change the ownership of the data and log directories to mysql (both user and group), the error should go away.

Here are the errors that I keep getting... I don't understand what this is telling me? from /var/log 021214 19:13:21 mysqld started 021214 19:13:21 /usr/local/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (er rno: 13) 021214 19:13:21 mysqld ended I haven't messed around with this since late Nov., but I really don't want to give up on this. Any ideas? So, it was recommended to try this-run 'install_db' from the scripts directory So I tried that and here is my output: Installing all prepared tables 030107 22:35:39 /usr/local/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown Complete To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! This is done with: /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h phoenix.miller.org password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions. NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run the /usr/local/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be able to use the new GRANT command! You can start the MySQL daemon with: cd /usr/local ; /usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld & You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench' directory: cd sql-bench ; run-all-tests Please report any problems with the /usr/local/bin/mysqlbug script! The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at http://www.mysql.com Support MySQL by buying support/licenses at https://order.mysql.com what in the hell am I doing wrong here, this should not be that hard to set up and run? ===== "People without goals get used by those who have goals" - Unknown ***************************************** GAIM ID: cmmiller1973 ***************************************** __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
