I can create a new database and add InnoDB tables to it without problems.
Ack, I lied. No error in the /var/lib/mysql, but there IS an error file
in /var/logs, and it contains:
"./ibdata1: error 13 in a file operation"
"mysqld does not have access rights to the directory"
But..... I'm sitting here looking and I can't see any difference between
the ibdata1 and the ibdata1_orig files, nor the folders that contain the
..frm files either.
There must be something but I sure can't see it...
