Hi suomi,
From my understanding (and I have just performed it myself about 2 hours
ago on one of my servers), I stopped the server, took a backup of the
data directories, built the new server and put it in place (same as your
rpm step), started the server, ran the fix script as
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables
--basedir=/usr/local/mysql --user=root --password=xxxxxx --verbose
It ran ok. I stopped and started the server and away it went with no
problems.
Regards

Hi Dave
i did so, but probably in the wrong moment. i got "Access denied" when i
run the script.
you mean that this should have been the very first step after the
upgrade.

Hi,
Did you run the bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables script? This is
documented in the upgrade procedures on the website under the
installation chapter.

Hi listers
1.
i did the upgrad as i usually did so far:
/etc/init.d/mysql stop
rpm -U MySQL-server-standard-5.0.18-0.rhel3.i386.rpm
rpm -U MySQL-client-standard-5.0.18-0.rhel3.i386.rpm
rpm -U MySQL-shared-standard-5.0.18-0.rhel3.i386.rpm
from then on: no chance to enter the database via whatever interface:
always Access denied for user .... on host ...
2.
i checked to see, whether the mysql userid had sufficient access
privileges to all database files: all access was ok.
i also checked the error log myhost.mydomain.tld.err: no hint why
access
was denied.
3.
i then went back to 4.1.16, entered the database (no problem) and for
the root user created the long password and intentionally did a flush
privileges.
4.
then i re-did the above (under 1) upgrade steps again to the same
event:
Access denied.
5.
i then took the procedure described in
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
while in the procedure, when i wanted to enter the flush privileges,
again access denied.
6.
i checked to see, whether there is some upgrade procedure to follow,
where privilege tables are upgraded (as from 3 to 4), and i found none.
i read the README even more carefully: nothing found.
7.
back to 4.1.16
which essential step did i omitt?
