[KLUG Members] MySQL problem: File permissions

[members@kalamazoolinux.org]

Hi,
When starting Mysqld_Max , I get the following error:

Innodb : Operating system error 13 in file operation

Innodb : the error means the mysqld does not have the access rights to the
directory

Innodb: filename : /tmp/data/ibdata1


I am using safe_mysqld to start mysqld-max


How do I set the directory permissions to allow access and to allow
permission to mysqld to create files in the directory?

Thx,
Sanjay
