Ahhhhhh I just figured out - the problem is that you should not execute the mysql_install_db by being in sub folder scripts. That you just need to execute it out of the basedir. I think mysql_install_db should throw an error when you execute it from wrong folder. Susanne

Bug fix. The script file can be accessed from outside the basedir and no longer assumes that cwd is the installation prefix.

Hi Sohair, we are currently doing a rehaul of this code, and will probably not need your contribution. But thanks again for contributing to MySQL. We will keep the bug open until we have the final solution (of course).

Noted in 5.7.5 changelog. mysql_install_db could fail if not invoked in the MySQL installation base directory.
