Greetings,
I downloaded the mysql-max-3.23.42-pc-sco3.2v5.0.6-i386 from MySQL website.
I installed it per the INSTALL-BINARY readme file.
When I try (from /usr/local/mysql) issue:
bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &
It starts and immediately stops mysqld. The .err file contains
020904 21:41:45 mysqld started
020904 21:41:45 bdb:
/var/opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.6Ga/usr/local/mysql-max-3.23.42-pc-sco3.2v5.0.6-i386
/data/log.0000000001: Permission denied
020904 21:41:45 bdb: PANIC: Permission denied
020904 21:41:45 Can't init databases
020904 21:41:45 mysqld ended
I have changed the ownership/group as per the instructions and I even went
so far as to
set the permission on the data directory to 777. Still no joy.
Any ideas what step I missed?
thanks in advance,
Darryl
