Hi, I am running SuSE 7.3 Professional and i downloaded the binary files for Max 4.0 version from here: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-max-4.0.html
I followed the installation procudure to the letter from this file: /mysql-max-4.0.1-alpha-pc-linux-gnu-i686/INSTALL-BINARY in the archive. I ran: mysql_install_db without any problems. All the setting were kept exactly as stated in the INSTALL-BINARY file. However I can not run: bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql & as linux root or as any other user on the local host. As a matter of fact the file does not even exist... The closest I have to the above file is: :/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe Now I also tried to run this scripts with all user linux accounts and by using the -u root option as oposed to --user=mysql (I also tried --user=root from within all linux accounts. I keep on getting this error: //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// george@linux:/usr/local/mysql> ./bin/mysqld_safe --user=root & [2] 4727 [1] Exit 1 ./bin/mysqld_safe --user=root george@linux:/usr/local/mysql> Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data ./bin/mysqld_safe: /usr/local/mysql/data/linux.err: Permission denied ./bin/mysqld_safe: /usr/local/mysql/data/linux.err: Permission denied tee: /usr/local/mysql/data/linux.err: Permission denied 020221 23:17:13 mysqld ended tee: /usr/local/mysql/data/linux.err: Permission denied [2]+ Exit 1 ./bin/mysqld_safe --user=root george@linux:/usr/local/mysql> //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I logged in as linux root and gave all users full access to the /usr/local/mysql directory included files and directories below it. At present I do not know what else I could try. Was the file I downloaded corrupt? My .../mysql/bin/ directory size ATM is: 15,229,278 The mysql directory is a symlink to: /usr/local/mysql-max-4.0.1-alpha-pc-linux-gnu-i686 as described in the file INSTALL-BINARY, I gave all users full access to this directory and all its subdirectories as well (obviously this did not help and I will need to change the security back to where it was). If anybody could please assist me or point me to an URL I will apreciate it.
