The next step I took was to set up my non-root MySQL admin user who I created a new user specifically for the task called: mysqladm. So I went and enabled mysqladm to write and execute from /tmp/ and I chowned the mysql-server files from root to mysqladm with mysql group, but I keep getting this same error if I try to run safe_mysql from mysqladm user: bash-2.05$ safe_mysqld Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/db/mysql rm: /tmp/mysql.sock: Operation not permitted 020418 00:23:28 mysqld ended Cheers, Seamus Thanks to Donnie Jones and Jesper Wallin for the help with the hostname problem while installing MySQL. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
