I compiled it from source and everything went fine and dandy with that. When I tried to fire it up it just didn't function correctly Here is what I got in the console: Code: root@server:~# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/var STOPPING server from pid file /usr/var/server.pid 041004 18:38:48 mysqld ended I looked in the mysql server error file and this is what it stated: Code: 041003 17:00:08 mysqld started 041003 17:00:08 InnoDB: Operating system error number 13 in a file operation. InnoDB: See http://www.innodb.com/ibman.php for installation help. InnoDB: The error means mysqld does not have the access rights to InnoDB: the directory. InnoDB: File name ./ibdata1 InnoDB: File operation call: 'create'. InnoDB: Cannot continue operation. 041003 17:00:08 mysqld ended I've been browsing around the internet for the past two days and I haven't been able to find much that might help my situation. The search here didn't turn out much that seemed to fit my problem. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Also who did you run mysql_install_db as? if it was root you will have to Code: chown -R mysql:mysql /var/mysql Replacing the mysql:mysql with the user who mysqld is running as. ps, If you search the forum there is a post where someone had this exact same problem and i answerd it.
