I've not been using mysql for some time but did have it running for a
couple of small databases I use at home. It doesn't appear to work now,
the most obvious sympton being that msyqlshow shows a list of blank table
names.
[root@phoenix mysql]# rpm -q redhat-release
redhat-release-7.1-1
[root@phoenix mysql]# rpm -q MySQL; rpm -V MySQL
MySQL-3.23.36-1
[root@phoenix mysql]# mysqlshow

[root@phoenix mysql]#
The only thing I've noticed looking back at the mysql documentation is
that there appear to be new MyISAM tables which are different to the ones
I remember seing before (ISAM tables).
My machine has /var/lib/mysql point to /home/mysql and the directory
structure is the following:
[root@phoenix mysql]# ls -l /home/mysql
total 26
drwx------ 2 mysql mysql 1024 Jun 21 2000 ampr_database

The negatives.tgz file is copied from the negatives directory. When
copied over to a FreeBSD machine running the mysql version below the data
shows up correctly.
[ mysql Ver 10.12 Distrib 3.23.26-beta, for -freebsd4.2 (i386) ]
The mysql error log file shows no errors.
I'm sure that I'm doing something wrong which is in a FAQ but can't find
the answer at the moment. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Simon
