hello a few days ago i had this problem in starting mysql daemon.. (described below by previous messages).. which was solved. i changed the permissions of the data directory.
but now again i am facing the same problem. but the error message is of binding the unix socket. something like this..(not exact) " unix socket bind error. do you have another mysql daemon running on the socket mentioned in the file .. /var/run/mysql/?.sock" (?.. means i dont remember the exact name of the file probably mysql.sock actually i am mailing from college computer lab not from my home due to some problem) but there is nothing in the dir /var/run/mysql its empty. the mysql user "mysql" have all the permissions of the data dir . plz tell me what to do.. if this much details are sufficient for understanding the problem.. otherwise i will mail with exact details. regards alqama ----- Original Message ----- From: "muhammad alqama" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, 02 Apr 2004 00:45:27 +0800 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: starting mysql daemon > hello > > the directory /var/lib/mysql/mysql (datadir) has > read/write permissions for user "mysql" and for root > group > > "drwx------ 2 mysql root..." > but the file /var/lib/mysql/mysql/host.frm (as well > as all the files in dir .../mysql/mysql) has > permissions only for root > -wr-wr----- 1 root root .... > should i change the permissions for the file > host.frm or the directory...for user mysql > > regards > alqama > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2004 10:02:22 -0600 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], > [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: starting mysql daemon > > > Errno 13 indicates a permissions error.
