We're sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking help on using MySQL products. Your problem is not the result of a bug.

Support on using our products is available both free in our forums at http://forums.mysql.com/ and for a reasonable fee direct from our skilled support engineers at http://www.mysql.com/support/

Please check if the user who wants to start the daemon (usually user mysql) has all rights for using  /usr/local/mysql and the deeper directories.

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.
