Show us the full error output and provide information on the version of MySQL you are using. > When I run 'mysql_upgrade' it runs > 'mysqlcheck' which is supposed to only be run when the server works > ... No, mysql_upgrade does call mysqlcheck to see if things need adjusting. Look at the documentation http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql-upgrade.html Look at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/upgrade.html which gives information on upgrading MySQL. However be careful as IMO this documentation can be a bit confusing and is incomplete. Nevertheless it's a good starting point. If however you don't think you are upgrading then you need to provide more information on how you are installing MySQL so we can determine why MySQL thinks that it needs to do an upgrade. My guess would be that you have multiple mysql binaries on your server and are not running the version you expect.
