Re: MySQL on SuSE 9.1

I don't know anything about SuSE, but I've gotten MySQL going on OSX,
RedHat, and Windows.

Make sure /usr/local/mysql/data (or wherever your databases are) is
read/writeable by the mysql user. (That was an issue getting MySQL
started on OSX.) MySQL's error log is usually in the mysql/data
directory in <servername>.err - that might give you some clues.

/etc/my.conf is usually the mysql config file. if it doesn't exist, the
server will try to use some default settings. You can get default
config files for various configurations on mysql.com.
