I have just installed mysql-max-3.23.55-pc-linux-i686.tar.gz and now I'm finding it impossible to run mysqld without being root. The permisions for the mysql data tree are all set with user and group "mysql". However when I run mysql.server I get permission denied errors:
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data ./bin/safe_mysqld: line 236: /usr/local/mysql/data/ophelia.menagerie.cc.err: Permission denied rm: cannot remove `/usr/local/mysql/data/ophelia.menagerie.cc.pid': Permission denied ./bin/safe_mysqld: line 242: /usr/local/mysql/data/ophelia.menagerie.cc.err: Permission denied tee: /usr/local/mysql/data/ophelia.menagerie.cc.err: Permission denied 030211 20:30:23 mysqld ended tee: /usr/local/mysql/data/ophelia.menagerie.cc.err: Permission denied I have setup /etc/my.cnf: [mysqld] basedir=/usr/local/mysql user=mysql I have mysql.server in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ and mysqld won't start at boot. I am assuming it is because of these premission errors. Is there some way that I can force mysqld to always run as user "mysql"? Is there a setting now that is overriding /etc/my.cnf?
