Hi,

I finally managed to install DBD::mysql on Mac OS X (10.3). But on the way,=
I experienced a strange error:

After starting the mysqld process (safe_mysqld --user=3Dmysql &), I tried t=
o create a sample database (as SQL-user "root"), but I got error 13.

So I changed the permissions on the /usr/local/mysql/data directory to allo=
w group writing, and everything worked fine from there on.

I guess the reason is that the mysqld process was not initiated by the syst=
em user "mysql", but by me (user "jan"), so it did not have writing privile=
ges to the data dir.

Am I right? Since this question is a little off-topic, I would be happy to =
receive a simple "yes" instead of some flaming.

Thanks,

Jan
