Hi,

After 5 hours trying to figure out MySQL errorno 13, and researching both in this forum and on Google, I decided it was time to seek advice.

I cannot get MySQL to do tasks such as create, access or drop tables even though all the permissions appear to be in order. This appears to be a permissions problem. The Folder owner is mysql.

The permission on the Mysql data files folder is drwxr-xr-x 4 mysql mysql

Isn't that the correct set of permissions?

Can someone help me figure this out?

thx in advance

Something else I just found out.

I am unable to stop the service.

I am definitely using the password I entered but it is rejecting it. (checked for caps lock).
