If so, look for the following options and make sure that the directories they are set to are also accessible by the mysql user: innodb_data_home_dir innodb_data_file_path If that doesn't work, I often use truss (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=truss&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-RELEASE&format=html) to debug permissions issues like this. You'll usually be able to tell from its output what syscall generates an EACCES and causes MySQL to fail.
