MySQL can't find table forms.

2002-01-17 Thread Travis Farmer

Remember a while back when I posted about restoring a mysqlhotcopy copied
database that I got an error that it can't find the .frm file? Well, the
error reports have been coming in that apparently most if not all my tables
(restored or new) have the same error.
Here is a sample from one of the pages.

Can't find file: './qwerty/table1.frm' (errno: 13)
---
Anybody know of a possible reason for this? I have tried restarting mysqld
as well as the entire server without any better results.
I seem to be able to query some of the tables from the mysql client on the
server machine but not always.

Quick help would be very much appreciated, as this seems to have gone from
bad to worse.

Thanks in advance,
~Travis

PS - I have just finished backing up all the databases using mysqldump as
well as mysqlhotcopy (a little redundant but I don't want to lose any data).

$ perror 13
Error code  13:  Permission denied

What are the file/directory permissions on the mysql directory?
And the qwery directory? and the .frm file?

Does the user running mysqld have permission to read/write/execute
on those dirs/files? Might you at some point have been running
mysqld as root, and now you are running it as the user mysql?
