/usr/libexec/mysqld: can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13)
This is - mysqld can't find the host table in the mysql database check your installation.
Yes, the installation runs fine. But the daemon is giving us beef.
The mysqld won't even start. We are running slackware, with apache 1.3.26 and php 4.2.
We get a lot mysql.sock junk.
