Hey all,
I don't like the default locations that mysql tries to install into.. I
like putting stuff in user accounts, with a version directory. Easier to
maintain, yada yada.
Anyways, as per the instructions you have to change a path in
./bin/mysqlaccess
I did this but when I run the scripts/mysql_install_db I get the
following... What am I missing?
mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/lib/mysql': Permission denied
chmod: failed to get attributes of `/var/lib/mysql': No such file or
directory
mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/lib/mysql/mysql': No such file or
directory
chmod: failed to get attributes of `/var/lib/mysql/mysql': No such file or
directory
mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/lib/mysql/test': No such file or
directory
chmod: failed to get attributes of `/var/lib/mysql/test': No such file or
directory

Installation of grant tables failed!
Examine the logs in /var/lib/mysql for more information.
You can also try to start the mysqld daemon with:
./bin/mysqld --skip-grant &
You can use the command line tool
./bin/mysql to connect to the mysql
database and look at the grant tables:
shell> ./bin/mysql -u root mysql
mysql> show tables
Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log
gives you a log in /var/lib/mysql that may be helpful.
