Issue: install_configure_mysql.sh fails with "Permission denied" error

Error Message:

[ERROR] [MY-013276] [Server] Failed to set datadir to '<veridata_installation_dir>/mysql-commercial-*.*.**-linux-glibc2.17-x86_64-minimal/data/' 
(OS errno: 13 - Permission denied) 

Troubleshooting Options

1. Check Directory Permissions:
   1. Run the following command to check access permissions (Note: "/ogg/app/oracle/veridata/23 is an example path of <veridata_installation_dir>):

      ls -ld /ogg /ogg/app /ogg/app/oracle /ogg/app/oracle/veridata /ogg/app/oracle/veridata/23 /ogg/app/oracle/veridata/23/mysql-commercial-*.*.**-linux-glibc2.17-x86_64-minimal

   2. If any parent directories lack the x (execute) permission, then vdtrepouser is unable to access the data directory.
2. Verify SELinux Policy:
   1. Switch to the root user.
   2. Navigate to: <veridata_installation_dir>/mysql-commercial-*.*.**-linux-glibc2.17-x86_64-minimal/bin
   3. Run the command: ls -lt ../data
   4. If the directory permission output does not include a trailing "." (for example, drwxr-x---.), then SELinux is not the issue. Otherwise, set SELinux to Permissive or Disabled mode.
