Hey everyone,
I assume I've made a rookie mistake. I just got a MacBook Pro and I'm trying to set up MySQL on it. I'm following the tutorial and I did the following:
[Excerpt begin]
$ mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.

mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
+--------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
[Excerpt end]
In the tutorial it says there should be databases called mysql, test, and tmp. I thought maybe something went wrong during setup, so I tried running mysql_install_db and I got this:
[Excerpt begin]
$ mysql_install_db
Installing MySQL system tables...
110119 20:37:07 [Warning] Can't create test file /usr/local/mysql-5.5.8-osx10.6-x86_64/data/<computer name>.lower-test
110119 20:37:07 [Warning] Can't create test file /usr/local/mysql-5.5.8-osx10.6-x86_64/data/<computer name>.lower-test
110119 20:37:07 [ERROR] ./bin/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/db.frm' (errno: 13)
ERROR: 1017 Can't find file: './mysql/db.frm' (errno: 13)

110119 20:37:07 [Note] ./bin/mysqld: Shutdown complete
Installation of system tables failed! Examine the logs in
./data for more information.
...
[Excerpt end]
First of all, I don't see any logs in ./data. Secondly, after looking up the error it looks like a permissions issue. I checked my /usr/local folder and the mysql soft link and the mysql-5.5.8-osx10.6-x86_64 directory are both owned by _mysql (I set that earlier).
Does anyone have any idea why I can't run mysql_install_db? Or why the databases from the tutorial aren't there? Thanks!
