But it occurs to me that there's some chance of SELinux interference; do you see any avc messages in /var/log/messages? If so, restorecon on the /var/lib/mysql tree ought to fix that. Alternatively, if you don't have any valuable data in your database (and I hope you aren't running anything *real* critical on rawhide ;-)) you could just rm -rf everything under /var/lib/mysql and let it initialize a brand new database. regards, tom lane -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
