Errors when resetting

I tried to launch it in safe mode, to which I received the following list of errors:

140131 00:03:02 mysqld_safe Logging to '/usr/local/var/mysql/david-mbp.err'.
140131 00:03:02 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/var/mysql
140131 00:03:03 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /usr/local/var/mysql/david-mbp.pid ended

The issue is caused by file permission

#check file permission
ls -l /usr/local/mysql

# change permission
sudo chmod -R g+rwx /usr/local/var/mysql
