Thank you for the report. But version 5.1.19 is old and I can not repeat described behaviour with development sources. Please try with current version 5.1.20 and if you can repeat attach your configuration file.

Looking into the problem again and sorting out defaults: The datadir has to exist, but should not be writable for the user. $ /usr/sbin/mysqld \ --no-defaults \ --help --verbose \ --log-bin=foo \ --datadir=/var/lib/mysql/ 070718 12:18:19 [Warning] Can't create test file /var/lib/mysql/jan-dev.lower-test 070718 12:18:19 [Warning] Can't create test file /var/lib/mysql/jan-dev.lower-test /usr/sbin/mysqld: File './foo.index' not found (Errcode: 13) 070718 12:18:19 [ERROR] Aborting $ /usr/sbin/mysqld --version /usr/sbin/mysqld Ver 5.1.19-beta-log for unknown-linux-gnu on x86_64 (MySQL Community Server (GPL))
