Hi, I'm running a FreeBSD 5.2.1 test box at home for Apache,PHP,MySQL. I wanted to move the default mysql dabatse location from /var/db/mysql to /usr/mysql What I did was cp -Rp /var/db/mysql /usr I know now it was wrong for the most part I know how stupid this idea was. I now can't ssh to the box I get the error below Could not chdir to home directory /home/reports: Permission denied /usr/local/bin/bash: Permission denied What I'm looking to know is, what exactly have I done to /usr and if I'm at the console can I easiliy reverse what I did ? Thanks in advance. Brian --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.766 / Virus Database: 513 - Release Date: 17/09/2004
