I've searched the doc's and the web site, can't find a mailing list archive to search, and the FAQ for this list is empty, so I'm posting instead. I'm getting 'Can't find file: './yonks/dates.frm' (errno: 13)' from a database while it is in it's correct location. I've run isamchk which says everything's fine, I've done the UMASK thing as recommened in the doc's but neither solved it. When I use the command line access as root and try to change to the yonks database I get: 'Can't read dir of './yonks' (Errcode: 13) Xmysql core dumps when I try to open the database with that, and Xmysqladmin says that it can't retrieve tables. This DB was working fine. I have just backed up the db folder (yonks), re-installed mysql and put the database back in it's correct location, but now nothing can access it. The doc's say that this should cause no problems. Am I missing something simple? There's nothing in the doc's about a Can't find dir' error message.. Thanks for any suggestions..
