I am looking for someone to assist me in = getting a server set up ASAP. In particular, I need MySQL 5.1+, PHP 5.2+, A= pache 2 and memcached installed and working. Most importantly, I need MySQL= 5.1+ because of table partitioning. Unfortunately, I am running into parti= cular problems with mysql, although as far as I can tell the other 3 are wo= rking just fine. Regardless, given the time frame (i need to get this done = preferably in the next 24 hours). I am fully prepared to pay a consultant t= o help if it comes to that, as time is of the essence and my failures over = the last several hours are making me less confident that I am capable of so= lving the problem.=A0

First, let me explain where exactly I am in the process= ... I have installed the iuscommunity repos and used them to successfully i= nstall Apache, PHP 5.2 and memcached + pecl memcached =A0(http://209.119.116.116/index.= php)

The only catch now is mysql 5.1+, which will not behave= . When attempting to start mysql for the first time using "/etc/init.d= /mysqld start", the startup times out and I receive the following logs= in the error log...

/usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/= plugin.frm' (errno: 13)
100426 16:53:13 [ERROR] Can't open the m= ysql.plugin table. Please run mysql_upgrade to create it.
100426 16:53:1= 4 InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 44233
100426 16:53:14 [ERROR] /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file: './my= sql/host.frm' (errno: 13)
100426 16:53:14 [ERROR] Fatal error: Can&#= 39;t open and lock privilege tables: Can't find file: './mysql/host= .frm' (errno: 13)
100426 16:53:14 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid= ended

From all I have read online, this appears to be a = permissions/ownership issue. I have gone in and made sure that every file i= n the /var/run/mysql directory is owned by mysql:mysql, and have given more= -than-ample read-write permissions to those same files/folders.

I don't know what to do beyond this point and reall= y don't even know where to look next.

Any help= , free or paid, would be very useful to me. Please email me at russ at virante.com if you have = any ideas or would like to work on this problem for a fee...
