I think you need to _understand_ the permissions before you blindly change them. > When I log in to the server shell, it won't chroot me to my home directory. > Instead it puts me in '/' with error message "no .bash_login.

Another strange thing just discovered is IE or > FireFox display "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access / on this > server", on all web sites. Does the user have permission to access all the elements in the path of their home directory? ie if their home directory is /usr/home/foo can then cd into /usr, /usr/home and /usr/home/foo? If not you will get odd errors. > So it seems that I have permission problem globally not just within MySQL. > What can possibly cause this permission problem? Hard drive corruption? Given you are blindly changing perms without really understanding, I suspect PEBKAC. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
