Subject:Mac OS X permission errors in 4.0.18
View as plain text  
Installing 4.0.18 on a Mac OS X 10.3.3 system
creates the "data" directory and its contents
as owned by "root" instead of "mysql."

I tried blowing away the data/mysql directory and
running scripts/mysql_install_db.  I tried logging
in as root and doing a recursive chown.  Finally
I deleted everything,
installed 4.0.17 instead and the tables had the right owners
and the database started OK.

Representative errors:
