[Techtalk] Starting mysql server

[Anne Wainwright]

Wim, thanks.

in short that worked fine, and nothing is using that port (as I thought)
I have done lots of searching on the net
same problem lots of answers,
seems to be a permissions issue
but have not yet resolved it despite following up on all promising suggestions

bestest
Anne
