I've just installed MySQL v3.23.21-beta from source after uninstalling a previous RPM version.

I built and installed it as in the docs:

shell> configure
shell> make
shell> make install
shell> scripts/mysql_install_db
shell> /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld &

But the last stage, safe_mysqld always gives the error:

chown: too few arguments
Try `chown --help' for more information.
Starting mysqld daemon with databases
from /usr/local/mysql/var
mysqld daemon ended

This new mysql version is part of my server upgrade to php4 etc- so much hassle that i wish i'd never started ;-)

Thanks, Tom

Fixed it!

Turns out that my redhat box has a different location of the tmp folder.

All i did was make a new tmp folder in the root of the hard drive and then the safe_mysqld could write the mysqld.sock file.

Easy when you know why!
