Hey Tim, I've run into this before. The docs say that if you don't have the grant tables set up you'll get that error:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/P/o/Post-installation.html (search for "host.frm" in page) But I've also seen it when I tried copying the support_files/mysql.server to the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory and then issuing the command: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql.server start even when user accounts were all fine. If nothing else, you might try running the command, "safe_mysqld &" as root from your mysql/bin directory. If that works for you, you can add that command to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file to automatically start MySQL at boot time. Good luck! -Joe > -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Veazey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2001 3:02 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: mysql config problems > > > Hello, > > I'm new to mysql on a redhat linux 7.1, AMD Athlon system. > I'm having > some configuration problems with the mysql that redhat > supplies out of > the box.
