I just installed RedHat 8.0 with MySQL support. Because of different reasons I then wished to upgrade to the newest version, and unistalled the package that came with Redhat.
I installed afterwards these packages: MySQL 3.23.53 Server MySQL 3.23.53 Client programs MySQL 3.23.53 Libraries and Header files for development MySQL 3.23.53 Client shared libraries When I now try to start the deamon, i get this error messages(taken from the error file in /var/lib/mysql): 021015 08:19:19 mysqld ended 021015 08:21:05 mysqld started Fatal error: Can't change to run as user 'mysql' ; Please check that the user exists! 021015 8:21:05 Aborting 021015 8:21:05 /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete 021015 08:21:05 mysqld ended The user mysql exists, initialy as user-id 27. I have tried to remove the user, and add it again, and this time it has user-id 501 Permissions in the the different directories are also correct, set to user and group "mysql:mysql" Can anybody help to get mysqld to change user? I haved checked the dokumentation... regards Martin Hjort Eriksen --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
