I installed mysql-server 4.0.17 a while ago (Unstable). When I try to start the server, I get the following:
$ mysqld_safe --user=mysql & [1] 687 $ Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql /usr/bin/mysqld_safe: line 300: /var/log/mysql/mysql.err: Permission denied /usr/bin/mysqld_safe: line 1: /var/log/mysql/mysql.err: Permission denied tee: /var/log/mysql/mysql.err: Permission denied 041201 17:05:41 mysqld ended tee: /var/log/mysql/mysql.err: Permission denied [1]+ Exit 1 mysqld_safe --user=mysql This is without having modified grant tables, set users or set passwords. Any help in getting the server working would be greatly appreciated. rb -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
