It may be that you started it as the wrong user first time. If it is using "/root/tmp" (or "/root") something is hideously wrong. But hard to advise as I don't use Mandriva -- the distro I uses installs MySQL and starts it, and gets the permissions right first time, when asked to -- but it may not be Mandrivas fault, it could be you broke something. Suggest you get a test box, install Mandriva from scratch, and stick MySQL in straight away before changing anything, see if that works a tad better, and might shed some light on what went wrong (or if the package is indeed broken). -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
