Nice time of the day. I apologize I am writing on this address because didn't find START NEW THREAD on mailing lists page.
The problem is this: I have the freshest version of Gentoo Linux, and mysql within it. Just didn't modify /etc/mysql/my.cnf, commenting only one line: skip-innodb. Have read about first mysql startup, and launched mysql_install_db as root. All went ok. Then, /etc/init.d/mysql start, started ok. When giving first command: /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h my_host password 'new-password', it sends me somewhere saying: /usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'my_host' failed error: 'Lost connection to MySQL server during query' When inspecting /var/log/mysql/mysqld.err log file, find there that /var/mysql.frm is not found. ... out of comment. Also, when stopping mysql, it refuses to be stopped. Help!
