During normal operation, mysql should run as the user "mysql", so it can't read those. You'll want to chown them. Not having a mysql group isn't critical, but if you haven't got a mysql user then I dare say you need to check the installation process, because it probably hasn't worked correctly. -- Chris -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
