I am not sure, but are you sure that mysqld is running as a root? Or as a mysql (user) and mysql (group). Try to check rights of the mysqld user.

Re: MySQL: Problem Installing on RH 7.3
First, nice username :) Anyhow, use the /etc/init.d/mysqld script as root to start/stop mysql, not the safe_mysqld binary. The init.d script really calls the safe_mysqld binary, but ti also makes a couple sanity checks like ensuring that the initial database files exist and are owned by the proper user. Example: # /etc/init.d/mysqld start This should get you past the problem you are currently having, which is that mysqld can't find it's database files. This is mostly due to redhat's mysql rpm installing the database files in a different location than mysql's distibution does. Hope this helps, Ryan Fox [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Thu, 2002-07-18 at 11:44, Richard Fox wrote: The mysqld.log file says: 020717 13:05:05 mysqld started 020717 13:05:05 /usr/local/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13) 020717 13:05:05 mysqld ended But I do see the host.frm file: -rw-rw1 root root 8958 Jul 17 13:04 /var/lib/mysql/mysql/host.frm How did you fix this problem?
