Catastrophic Installation Failure now!

[jaymax]

The problem was caused by a permission change in the mysql data directory, in
my case /disk02/db/mysql/DATA - why and how is beyond my comprehension.

It would be a good tactic for developers to to include a troubleshooting
script to check directory permissions in installations, as this is such a
common problem. At a minimum a simple checklist would help. I have had
situations where I have looked at files/directories after an installation
and could not tell what it should be.
 
Thanks again!
