Re: Mysql-4.1.7 Start - Ended error - Solaris 8

[Heikki Tuuri]

Alessio,

the error means that the user running mysqld does not have the access rights 
to the MySQL 'datadir' (datadir is typically `/usr/local/mysql/data' for a 
binary installation).

Use Unix commands

man chown

man chmod

to get advice on how to set the owner and the access rights of a directory.

Best regards,
