effigy Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 is this when you are starting mysql... if not, what are you doing? have you ran a search for that file? unix: % su (type root password) # find / -name localhost.pid Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/1064-mysql-error-13-unable-to-read-write-localhostpid/#findComment-3612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmola Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 It sounds like you the user you are starting mysql with does not have the permissions to create the mysql.pid file.
