/var/lib/mysql/ must be writeable by the user mysql.
/var/lib/mysql.sock will be created when mysqld starts, and must be world writable.

Here's the output I get only as a user to mysql but not logging in as root:

I would like to be able to run mysql as a user and not only be restricted to running it as root for security reasons. Any help much appreciated.
