Hi, I have SuSE 7.1 installed on my machine. SuSE 7.1 comes with MySQL 3.23.32. When in try to run mysqld, i am getting the following error: Fatal error: Please read "Security" section of the manual to find out how to run mysqld as root!! But i couldn't find any section called "Security" in the manual. I also tried running safe_mysqld. The following is the message it got: Starting deamon with database from /var/lib mysql mysql ended. safe_mysqld atleast creates the mysql.sock socket. The manual says there will be a log created corresponding to the error in /var/log. But i couldn't see any log created. Any help will be highly appreciated.
