Hi, there is somethng strange in installing mysql using my own made charset. Configuration and compilation is going ok. But after that I can't use mysql not as root not as aother user... When I do safe_mysqld --skip-grant & all is Ok (logical) I can change privileges make drop databases, tables. When these changes is made I flushh all and try to start mysqld as normal, but there is the same problen i cant login an do anything with mysql database, it allows all users login without pass (strange) but when do use mysql (as root) permissio denied for root@localhost to database mysql... After more times installation I try to configure and compile with default character set (latin1). All is going OK all grants is working ok. The quiestion is in what measera character set affect mysql databases and tables.... -- Best regards, dodge mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
