No, that's not the issue. If you google for the mysql output before it quits "Fatal error: Please read "Security" section of the manual to find out how to run mysqld as root!" there are a lot of other reports. I'll read them after lunch and see what they mean - they can't all be running as root ;).
So all the other reports with this error message I looked at yesterday were indeed users running akonadi as root. I don't know another reason why mysql would output this error message, so I'm going to look for ways it could be trying to run as root. In your serverstart log file Akonadi is trying to use a database in /home/constant112 so at least it has a user's $HOME environment. Is your mysqld binary setuid root?
Also, I'm adding a 'not root' test to the Akonadi self test dialog to make it clear to others that running as root is strongly discouraged.
Will Looked at mysql and user and group are both root. That should be what? Have to confess that I use midnight commander for such changes. Norton Commander on my Dos machine :( . Easier than command line. Do not know why but that was I suppose something which was done during the (new) installation of 11.2 from the dvd month ago. I have never worked with MySQL. Fine that you did the reading because I was realy frustrated to find out that people are already struggling with this kind of problem since 2003/ 2004. Seems to be a popular problem ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
