Hello.



Not enough information to make a conclusion. Please, send us information

about MySQL and operating system versions. What value does your environment

variable TMPDIR have?



[snip]

I am having a problem starting up mysql.

I am unable to run the mysql_install_db routine. When I run it I keep getting 
the error -

unable to write to /tmp/root/...

 Originally I got the error unable to write to /tmp but that has since changed 
to the first

 error.

 I'm not a newbee to IT or Linux. I tried chmod to change rights but that 
doesn't work. I'm

 forgetting something.

 Help.
