RE: server startup error on linux
I assume that the mysql daemon is looking for one of those owned by mysql. The server will start if I send the --skip-grant-tables option Who wants to run a database with no grant tables Find out where your databases are located. Think /var/db/mysql is the default. Go there and type: chown -Rf mysql:mysql * to change ownership of databases and tables. Note that mysql:mysql is user:group and if the mysql-user and/or group is different from 'mysql' you should change it. :wq //andreas http://phpwizard.dk (in Danish only) - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?
