Let me begin by saying that I am sorry for having sent a bad bug report- it did not have all the information about the steps that I had followed. A waste of your time. Also I am not a member of this list so would you please reply to me directly.

I would like to insist on this installation problem that I have- I have been given a PC with red hat installed in it and have to install our programs that use mysql. We have added some functionality so we do need the source code.

total 8 drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Aug 16 10:43 mysql drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Aug 16 10:43 test

Now this is where I would find the data files had I done an RPM installation. I find this strange because I did the same installation, from source, on tuesday on a SUSE linux machine and had no problems at all. Or is /var/bin/mysql the place where data files are supposed to be in a redhat linux installation?

Fix:

Beside Tim's question, I have one more. Did you download our RPM from our site ??

Also, on an unrelated issue, did you change user= under which mysql runs, as privileges are not set for user mysql in your datadir.
