Can the user the mysqld process run as (usually the mysql user) read/write
the /var/lib/data directory without problems?
Does your /etc/my.cnf file contain a
datadir = /var/lib/mysql
or is it pointing somewhere else?
Did adding skip-innodb to your my.cnf solve anything?

871 skip-innodb
You may have a permissions problem. I had the same error.
Ensure that /var, /var/lib, and /var/lib/mysql have the following
permissions: drwxr-xr-x
then restart the client.
