Hello, I am trying to install the system db with mysql 4.1.7 on my FreeBSD-4.10 but I encounter some problems. You can find on my perso page how I compile mysql (subfolder fbsd-secure).
This is what I did... (root) # mysql_install_db --user=mysql --datadir=/home/mysqld/ Installing all prepared tables Installation of system tables failed! Examine the logs in /home/mysqld/ for more information. You can also try to start the mysqld daemon with: /usr/local/libexec/mysqld --skip-grant & You can use the command line tool /usr/local/bin/mysql to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables: shell> /usr/local/bin/mysql -u root mysql mysql> show tables Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log gives you a log in /home/mysqld/ that may be helpful. The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at http://www.mysql.com Please consult the MySQL manual section: 'Problems running mysql_install_db', and the manual section that describes problems on your OS. Another information source is the MySQL email archive. Please check all of the above before mailing us! And if you do mail us, you MUST use the /usr/local/bin/mysqlbug script! The only things I can see is that two directories have been created on /home/mysqld (mysql,test). /home/mysqld/mysql has lot of files but I don't see any log files giving to me the problem. So can somebody help me to solve this problem.
