After taring mysql-3.23.53-unknown-linux-gnu-s390.tar.gz successfully on our Linux VM and linking the new directory to simply mysql, I ran into the following error trying to start the mysql daemon:
[root@cofr3 mysql]# ./bin/mysqld -L /mysql/share/mysql/english Fatal error: Please read "Security" section of the manual to find out how to run mysqld as root! 021122 12:13:59 Aborting 021122 12:13:59 ./bin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I took this error to simply mean that I needed to execute the following commands: chown -R root /mysql chown -R mysql /mysql/data chgrp -R mysql /mysql Unfortunately, I still got this error. Can anyone see what I am missing? P.S. I am able to run ./bin/mysqladmin --version command successfully. However, PS -ax does not show mysql running. I also tried ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql & and got the following: [root@cofr3 mysql]# ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 021122 12:31:41 mysqld ended —--------------------------------------------------- Thank you in advance for your time.
