mysql

[Rich Caloggero]

It looks like the message you get after running safe_mysqld is a
permissions/ownership problem. You generally need to create a user, call it
mysql, and assign the owner and group of the mysql tree to that user. Set
the permissions of all objects in the tree to be "rwx" for owner, and remove
all permissions for group and world (this would be 700 or "rwx------"). The
documentation on the mysql.com website is very complete and easily
navigable.

Hope this helps...

When I try running the safe_mysql script I get the following:
