[SOLVED] Permission on MySql Directory

ethereal1m · 08-30-2010, 04:35 AM

Dear all,
what is the correct permission for mysql directory under /var/lib directory? I set permission using:

Code:

chmod 755 mysql

but got permission deny error. What is the best setting permission for this directory so that I won't jeopardize security?

Best regards,
ethereal

Hello,

All my MySQL servers have these settings for that directory:

Code:

drwx------  3 mysql   mysql   4096 Aug 30 12:25 mysql

Hope it helps.

Kind regards,

Eric
