Re: [gentoo-user] Problems Upgrading to Slotted MYSQL

Kirby:

I ran into the same problem upgrading 5.0.18 > 5.0.18-r30.  Copying

need to change the owner/group of the new directory:

chown mysql:mysql -R /var/lib/mysql-500

Then after completing the rest of the guide you should be ready to go.  hth,
