help with mysql

alright. i have a clean install of mysql 3.23.33 on a red hat 7 workstation running apache. now, when i try to start the mysql server it starts and then ends. upon looking in the error log file this is the error it reports:

mysqld started
/usr/libexec/mysqld: can't find file './mysql/host.frm' (errno 13)
mysqld ended

so i did a search to find the location of the host.frm file and it is located at /var/lib/mysql/mysql/host.frm

from the error message, i gather that it is looking for the host.frm file at this location: /usr/libexec/mysql/host.frm

is that right or do i have it wrong? can i create a directory there and just copy the host.frm file into it or is there a config file somewhere that i don't know about that i have to change the location? any help would be great.

thanks in advance.

chris
