does anyone have further thoughts on this? based on some suggestions i
received, i have tried:
- running as root (mysqld --user=root)
- creating a new user and giving it ownership of the whole mysql/*
directory
- reinstalling
- making sure that the user starting mysql always has rwx permissions on
the data directory and all sub directories / files
i still get the same error ....
thanks a lot.
