View source for Running mysqld in chroot

Please be careful when following the instructions on this page. They are entirely from memory. If you'd like assistance along the way, have a specific reason for wanting to run mysqld, and are knowledgeable enough about linux/WebOS to help me help you work remotely on any issues that arise, I can be reached at cerealklr@<humans.should.remove.this.token>gmail.com. This guide assumes mysqld and its dependencies have already been installed, and that you are operating in a debian based chroot.

* Create the user 'mysql' for the daemon to run as.
** Create the user itself. <pre>adduser --system mysql</pre>
** Create a group for the user. <pre>addgroup --system mysql</pre>
** Add the user to the group. <pre>adduser mysql mysql</pre>

* Create boilerplate my mysql's locking mechanisms.
** Create its /var/run directory. <pre>mkdir /var/run/mysqld</pre>
** Create the socket lock file. <pre>touch /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock</pre>
** Give the mysql group ownership of the run directory. <pre>chown -r root:mysql /var/run/mysqld</pre>
** Ensure corrent permissions on the run directory. <pre>chmod 775 /var/run/mysqld && chmod 644 /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock</pre>

* Install the database <pre>mysql_install_db</pre>

If the above does not work, I've forgotten a step. Please email your terminal log to me so I can figure out what I forgot and amend the wiki.
