Fwd: MYSQL Fresh Reinstall, How?

Ben Dover Fri, 29 Aug 2003 19:57:39 +0000

I appreciate the replies and suggestions that everyone has sent. I'm less than a novice regarding MYSQL or I wouldn't have deleted the MYSQL database in the first place. It took me some time to find where the databases were located as "locate" wouldn't produce them. I'm googleing for the error messages and some of your suggestions and trying to learn as I go along but I'm not having much luck so far. I did install 5.1 and MYSQL 4.1.0 on another box and copy the database over but I'm getting the same error. This makes me wonder if its some sort of a permissions problem as Plesk changes some default permissions on installation but I don't know where to start for this. Webmin is a great tool for dummies like myself, you can use things like phpbb and postnuke and not understand MYSQL. If you could explain in detail a little more how I am supposed to implement your suggestions it would help immensely. Thanks again for your help in solving my situation.

I managed to mess up my MYSQL4.1 on my 5.1 box and I can't seem to get it straightened out. I think the best way to resolve this would be to do a fresh install of MYSQL server. I did a pkg_delete of MYSQL-server and client and installed again from ports but I'm getting the same error messages. Is there a way to just start out fresh like I never had MYSQL installed in the first place? The error I'm getting is: 030829 2:36:36 Fatal error: Can't open privilege tables: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13) 030829 02:36:36 mysqld ended

This started out from something I did while trying to get Plesk6 to work on 5.1 (which I did) but without MYSQL working I uninstalled Plesk6. I think what I did was delete the database mysql and I guess it is essential. Any assistance would be appreciated but I'm leaning toward a fresh install if possible.
