Talk:How to install a MySQL Server

I think you should add: "Do a '# chown -R mysql /var/mysql'"

Or you'll get this error:

Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/mysql

mysqld started

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.

STOPPING server from pid file /var/mysql/main.pid

mysqld ended

May be it only happens to me, but I don't know.
