Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
010828 15:18:22  mysqld ended

When I attempt this as not the root user, I get permission problems.

The /var/log/mysql.log has the following line added:

010828 15:18:22  mysqld started
010828 15:18:22  /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13)
010828 15:18:22  mysqld ended

I am using Redhat linux. I freshly installed it (I've installed *nothing* else). I got the same problem when I initialized the partition, and installed debian, and installed mysql from the source code.

I have tried different versions and distributions of Linux. Different kernals. Different mysqls. There is no HOWTO page with this error -- how does anybody else get the thing to go?

Quote:>How-To-Repeat:

If you think it has something to do with RedHat... Initialize the hardisk. Install Debian (potato), with mysql
        Get the mysql tar.gz file and type (as root):
        gunzip mysql.tar.gz
        tar xf mysql.tar
        cd into the directory
        ./configure --prefix=/path/to/installation
        make
        make install
        locate mysql_install_db and run ./mysql_install_db
        safe_mysqld

and... SAME PROBLEM!!!

RedHat 7.1 users:

The command used to start mysqld on this platform is simply (as root):

# /etc/init.d/mysqld start

This is _all_ that is required.

Once that works you can set
the mysql root user's password
with mysqladmin if you are
concerned about security
on your intranet.
