Hey all, Hi all, I must admit that I have very little experience in handling database= s, but the behavior of the program was weird enough that I figured the probl= em wasn't with me. When I run the mysql_secure_installation script, the default values it comes= with make the script nonfunctional. First, it attempts to create and chmod t= wo files: ".my.cfg.$$" (the config file) and ".mysql.$$" (something called "= command"). However, this fails with a "read-only filesystem" error. It seems= to not be specifying any path before the two files, as when I manually spec= ify a path (like /var/db/mysql/my.cfg and /usr/local/mysql). The script also= needs to be called with the option "--basedir=3D/usr/local", which seems un= necessary considering that setting ought to be the default in the first plac= e. Once I make these modifications, the script works just fine. Is it is this actually an issue? Or is this just a gap in my knowledge? Thanks, --Matt=
