+The MySQL directory `${MYSQL_DATADIR}' should be owned by the
+user `${MYSQL_USER}' and group `${MYSQL_GROUP}'. This can be done with:
+ chown -R ${MYSQL_USER}:${MYSQL_GROUP} ${MYSQL_DATADIR}
+
+
If this is a new installation, please remember to set a password for
the MySQL root user! This is done by running both:
${PREFIX}/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password'
${PREFIX}/bin/mysqladmin -h `hostname` -u root -p password 'new-password'
+(The "Enter password:" prompt is asking for the existing password.
+As there is no existing password, just press Return.)
See the manual for more instructions.
