Linux permissions not set correctly. The problem is the user account you specified for the mysql files & directory. If you look at your database directories f.e /var/lib/mysql do: ls -al >> look at the user acounts is uses baby-bumble-bee:/var/lib/mysql # ls -al total 484 drwx------ 14 mysql mysqlgrp 4096 Jun 2 20:13 . drwxr-xr-x 46 root root 4096 May 9 13:21 .. -rw------- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 269 Apr 13 14:46 .my.cnf -rw------- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 4902 Feb 8 17:42 baby-bumble-bee-bin.001 -rw------- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 86 Feb 8 18:20 baby-bumble-bee-bin.002 -rw------- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 86 Feb 28 09:50 baby-bumble-bee-bin.003 -rw------- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 86 Feb 28 19:22 baby-bumble-bee-bin.004 -rw------- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 86 Mar 1 01:57 baby-bumble-bee-bin.005 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 98 Apr 8 09:41 baby-bumble-bee-bin.006 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 98 Apr 8 09:42 baby-bumble-bee-bin.007 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 98 Apr 8 09:43 baby-bumble-bee-bin.008 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 98 Apr 8 09:43 baby-bumble-bee-bin.009 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 98 Apr 8 09:44 baby-bumble-bee-bin.010 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 98 Apr 8 09:46 baby-bumble-bee-bin.011 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 98 Apr 8 09:46 baby-bumble-bee-bin.012 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 98 Apr 8 10:06 baby-bumble-bee-bin.013 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 98 Apr 8 13:31 baby-bumble-bee-bin.014 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 98 Apr 8 15:10 baby-bumble-bee-bin.015 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 79 Apr 8 15:15 baby-bumble-bee-bin.016 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 98 Apr 8 18:43 baby-bumble-bee-bin.017 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 98 Apr 8 19:39 baby-bumble-bee-bin.018 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 98 Apr 8 20:07 baby-bumble-bee-bin.019 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 98 Apr 9 07:23 baby-bumble-bee-bin.020 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 98 Apr 9 20:55 baby-bumble-bee-bin.021 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 98 Apr 10 11:29 baby-bumble-bee-bin.022 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 98 Apr 10 13:06 baby-bumble-bee-bin.023 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 98 Apr 10 13:25 baby-bumble-bee-bin.024 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 98 Apr 10 14:01 baby-bumble-bee-bin.025 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 223 Apr 10 18:43 baby-bumble-bee-bin.026 -rw------- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 676 Apr 10 14:09 baby-bumble-bee-bin.index -rw------- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 296767 Jun 2 20:13 baby-bumble-bee.err -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysqlgrp 156 Apr 7 21:53 baby-bumble-bee.log -rw-rw---- 1 mysql daemon 3 Jun 2 20:13 baby-bumble-bee.pid drwx------ 2 mysql daemon 4096 Apr 22 16:22 create_samples drwxr-xr-x 2 root mysqlgrp 4096 Apr 13 00:54 htdig drwx------ 2 mysql mysqlgrp 4096 Apr 10 14:05 join drwx------ 2 mysql mysqlgrp 4096 May 2 14:46 mysql lrwxrwxrwx 1 mysql mysqlgrp 15 Mar 19 16:51 mysql.sock -> /tmp/mysql.sock drwx------ 2 mysql mysqlgrp 4096 Apr 24 13:01 newone drwx------ 2 mysql daemon 4096 May 27 09:50 sample drwx------ 2 mysql daemon 4096 Apr 25 15:41 samples drwx------ 2 mysql mysqlgrp 4096 May 12 21:03 school_en drwx------ 2 mysql daemon 4096 May 13 14:01 school_jp drwxr-xr-x 2 mysql mysqlgrp 8192 May 17 11:26 test drwx------ 2 mysql mysqlgrp 4096 Apr 14 11:58 webforum drwx------ 2 mysql mysqlgrp 8192 May 17 11:26 xoops Check this on your system as well and ake sure its not using "root" or something like this. Use chown and chgrp to change it to mysql's Linux user account (ps -u). Then it will start without any problems.
