Subject:   mysqld startup issue
Message-ID:  <4FD62BA8.7030702@dreamchaser.org>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I've done the following after having a running system with a running mysql on it:

moved user accounts, although no logical move:
  /usr/home/foo was => /hd1/foo
now
  /usr/home => /hd1/home  and /hd1/foo is now /hd1/home/foo
repartitioned the SSD and restored the system from a dump taken prior to repartitioning.
removed all ports and reinstalled them

Unfortunately, mysqld won't start:

InnoDB: The error means mysqld does not have the access rights to

InnoDB: File name ./ibdata1
InnoDB: File operation call: 'create'.
InnoDB: Cannot continue operation.

Running mysqld --verbose shows:

  basedir             /usr/local
  general-log-file    /var/db/mysql/breakaway.log

ls -aol /usr/local/libexec/mysqld
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  - 9558944 Jun 11 10:40 /usr/local/libexec/mysqld
ls -dl /var/db/mysql
drwxr-xr-x  2 mysql  mysql  512 Jun 11 10:31 /var/db/mysql

cd /
find . -ls | grep my.cnf

shows nothing.

This looks like some kind of access / setuid problem, but I'm not sure what.
Suggestions?
