title: ERROR 3680 (HY000): Failed to create schema directory with MySQL create database method
body: <p>When I try to create a database as the root user in mysql via:</p>
  <p><code>create database db3;</code></p>
  <p>I receive the following error:</p>
  <p><code>ERROR 3680 (HY000): Failed to create schema directory 'db34' (errno: 2 - No such file or directory)</code></p>
  <p>I've already uninstalled and reinstalled mysql via homebrew but that doesn't seem to help at all. Any ideas?</p>
  <p>When I type:</p>
  <pre><code>SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'datadir';
  +---------------+------------------------+
  | Variable_name | Value                  |
  +---------------+------------------------+
  | datadir       | /usr/local/mysql/data/ |
  </code></pre>
  <p>Is this the issue?</p>
