Sirs,
I am now installing mysql locally as suggested earlier. Then, will do the symlink as
mentioned above.
However, when I try this
# bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
...this error is got.(First few lines...)
Installing MySQL system tables...
ERROR: 1 Can't create/write to file '/home/albert/install/mysql/var/mysql/db.MYI'
(Errcode: 13)
100324 23:46:05 [ERROR] Aborting
100324 23:46:05 [Note] /home/albert/install/mysql/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown complete
Installation of system tables failed! Examine the logs in
/home/albert/install/mysql/var for more information.
...
And there are no log files as told in the error message.
What's wrong am I doing here?
I follow the steps under '2.10.1 Source Installation Overview' in the INSTALL-SOURCE file
that is in the source root folder.
Regards,
-Karthik
