If you got the error message during creation of the innoDB files (e.g. during install) you HAVE TO DELETE all files and restart the installation. There is no way around this!
However, if the file got corrupted after installation (e.g. you already used it for days) you can repair it (maybe someone changed the file permissions and/or ownership). You can change filepermissions on unix (linux) with chmod (type 'man chmod') on the command line, and change ownership with chown (man chown). You can delete files with 'rm' or 'unlink' (again, see the man pages for help) Cheers /rudy -----Original Message----- From: Mark Depenbrock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: woensdag 9 juli 2003 16:35 To: Egor Egorov Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: InnoDB: Operating system error number 13 in a file operation Hello Egor, You give me hope but... I attempted to set up permissions but it appears that I need to start up MySQL in order to do that. That brings me right back to my original problem of not being able to connect. I am thinking of reinstalling MySQL to see if I missed something in the original install. Any more suggestions please, I am at a loss. Mark D.
