Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13)

[psgarcha]

Hello All,

I am installing MySQL on my Mac OS Jaguar system. I was having some trouble with the starting up my MySQL Server. I kpt getting "mysqld ended" error and my logs showed that file "user.MYI" was corrupted. So I decided to uninstall MySQl and re-install it.

I installed MySQL (mysql-standard-4.0.13-apple-darwin6.4-powerpc) ... but now I get this error in the log file and I am unable to still start the MySQL Server.

It looks like the path to the db directory is incorrect.

Its looking in ./mysql/ for the user tables.

You may have to change this or start mysqld from the correct location.
