Re: installation snag

["Kenneth G. Arnold" <bkarnold () cbu edu>]

Did you run the script to create the database for the first time?
Are you sure that the database is running?
Do you have /usr/local/mysql/var/mysql and /usr/local/mysql/var/test 
directories?
Have you checked the errorlog hostname.err in /usr/local/mysql/var?
