So I checked in that directory you suggested and I found this: 080908 13:35:05 mysqld started 080908 13:35:05 [Warning] option 'max_join_size': unsigned value 18446744073709551615 adjusted to 4294967295 080908 13:35:05 [Warning] option 'max_join_size': unsigned value 18446744073709551615 adjusted to 4294967295 080908 13:35:05 InnoDB: Operating system error number 13 in a file operation. InnoDB: The error means mysqld does not have the access rights to InnoDB: the directory. InnoDB: File name ./ibdata1 InnoDB: File operation call: 'create'. InnoDB: Cannot continue operation. 080908 13:35:05 mysqld ended
So my questions are: 1. What directory is it referring to? Is it /var/db/mysql by default? I just tried to give ownership using chown -R mysql /var/db/mysql but that made no difference. 2. I've read also for this kind of issue I have to reinstall the software... When I initially installed this from ports I didn't use any kind of extra parameters.
