在linux下安装，但是要安装的服务器是在远端，我只能远程登录，而且不是root用户。
安装的时候出现这样的错误：
mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/lib/mysql/mysql': Permission denied
chmod: failed to get attributes of `/var/lib/mysql/mysql': No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/lib/mysql/test': Permission denied
chmod: failed to get attributes of `/var/lib/mysql/test': No such file or directory

请问如何解决呀？

权限不够。安装时要有root权限，至于安全问题，你在安装的时候可以建立专门用于启动MYSQL的用户和组。
