Access right when creating the path /srv/localhost/mysql is not correct. (mysql is my first "/srv" service) "mysql" user can not access after a fresh install. I have to make a chmod o+rx to /srv and /srv/localhost and /srv/localhost/mysql and after run emerge --config =dev-db/mysql-4.1.20
I can reproduce it too when it comes to /srv/localhost/mysql/ Before chmod o+rx to /srv/localhost/mysql I failed every time trying to create the basic database: [ERROR] Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.host' doesn't exist former emerge --config dev-db/mysql attempt: ... * Insert a password for the mysql 'root' user * Avoid ["'\_%] characters in the password > * Retype the password > !!! ERROR: dev-db/mysql-5.0.26-r2 failed. Call stack: ebuild.sh, line 1527: Called pkg_config ebuild.sh, line 1255: Called mysql_pkg_config mysql.eclass, line 871: Called die !!! MySQL databases not installed !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
"srvdir" USE flag and support were removed, they caused too many problems, and had too few users and other ebuilds compatible with that format. Best regards, CHTEKK.
