Hay Roy!
In fat32FS all files have rights 777 everytime! You can set rights 644 in Linux (ext2/ext3/ext4) FS.

Thanks for your post. This was really helpful when googling to fix the same issue like mad.

Roy, the FS is not your problem, the problem it’s that probably you mysql directory is not /opt/lampp/etc/my.cnf try with /etc/mysql/my.conf maybe can resolve, good luck!!

Hello, I am using fat32 FS.
chmod 644 /opt/lampp/etc/my.cnf
But it doesn’t work!
Is there a way to make it work on FAT32 file sysyem?
