Hi, I have a problem with mysql. I have installed the following packages: - mysql - mysql-client - mysql-shared - mysql-bench After this, I have executed the next command with root: mysql_install_db Until now, there is no problem, but after when I try to start mysql with the command 'rcmysql start' , I have the folliwing message: Starting service MySQL Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 011213 21:16:37 mysqld ended And I have the following message in the file '/var/lib/mysql/<hostname>.err' (here <hostname> = peacock): 011213 21:16:37 mysqld started /usr/sbin/mysqld: File './peacock-bin.index' not found (Errcode: 13) 011213 21:16:37 Could not use peacock-bin for logging (error 13) 011213 21:16:37 /usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13) 011213 21:16:37 mysqld ended And finally, if I try the command 'mysql', I have: ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) So, what is the problem...what can I do ?
