In /etc/passwd nobody:x:99:99:Nobody:/:/:sbin/nologin ANOTHER LINE: postgres:x:26:26:PostgreSQL Server:/var/lib/pgsql:/bin/bash the directory "mysql" is under /var/lib/mysql How do i check the permissions on the directory if it's 660 or not?

How do I check to see if I added user "mysql"?

When I fist installed RedHat, I didn't do anything other than "/etc/init.d/mysql start", and I didn't get any error message about the socket.

user mysql? don't think so. How do i check? do i need to add group also? "groupadd mysql" "useradd -g mysql mysql"

Yes I did.

Do I need to run the mysql_install_db script? I am reading some other posts, trying to see if other people having same problem. Did I do something wrong when I upgraded it? In the mysqld.log file, it shows that when I run one of the updates, the client one i beleive, gives me a warning...

When I installed RedHat, I picked MySQL server and all the related programs. Should I just go back to version 3.23? It was working. :) But problem is I dont know how to go back, or how to uninstall it in Linux. I am a newbie. :(
