Greetings!

I had mysql 4.0.18 installed from the binary package, was working my way through the tutorial [totally new to database work]. Then i installed the 4.0.20 package [again from your binary], i can't start the server. Here are the results:

PowerBook:/usr/local/mysql portable$ sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data
040922 10:23:22  mysqld ended

I read on this list about permissions issues, so issued the following command:

PowerBook:/usr/local/mysql portable$ chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql

        Now the output has changed subtly:

PowerBook:/usr/local/mysql portable$ sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql-standard-4.0.20-apple-darwin7.3.0-powerpc/data
040927 11:17:00 mysqld ended


I verified that i have a group "mysql" and user "mysql", but am not sure about much beyond that. What now?

12" PowerBook G4 1 GHz [768 mem] OS X.3.5, Apple X11 1.0, Xcode 1.1, Fink 0.7.0

Real life is known to cause insanity in those most closely associated
with it.
