No USER table and no access at all to users accessing from localhost. Why? The rpm should have run the "mysql_install_db" which according to the docs should have set things up. OK so try executing it by hand: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] jim]# /usr/bin/mysql_install_db --verbose --force --user > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Installing all prepared tables > 070130 9:10:38 [Warning] Ignoring user change to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' because > the user was set to 'mysql' earlier on the command line > > /usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't read dir of '/root/tmp/' (Errcode: 13) > Fill help tables > 070130 9:10:38 [Warning] Ignoring user change to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' because > the user was set to 'mysql' earlier on the command line > > /usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't read dir of '/root/tmp/' (Errcode: 13) > > To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server > to the right place for your system > > PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! > To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands: > /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' > /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h obsidian.j9starr.net password 'new-password' > See the manual for more instructions. > > NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run > the /usr/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables.

OK, so trust me when I tell you that what I'm about to do next is pretty safe. I've taken all the requisite precautions and this isn't a production box anyway. No user data on this box and no password-less access out of this box either, several firewalls etc. etc. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] jim]# chmod 777 /root;chmod 777 /root/tmp > [EMAIL PROTECTED] jim]# <chuckle>"Yikes!", right?
