Dear Gurus, Yesterday I changed the ownership of /var/lib/mysql to user mysql chown -R mysql /var/lib/mysql
Then I started the mysql server with command /usr/bin/safe_mysqld --skip-grant-tables The daemon started without crashing immediately. I then could get into mysql prompt As per manual it stys that GRANT command is not recognised but I then did mysqladmin reload and then restarted the server in user mysql. I then went to prompt mysql and gave grant all to root(I mean root of MySQL) and did FLUSH PRIVILEGES(Both SQL command were successfull) Now one step I missed from manual before running mysqladmin reload was to run mannually SQL scripts from mysql_install_db. I want to know whay I need to run scripts which are creating system tables in this script or is it that I need to run only sqls which are insert values. When I give command mysql -u root -p and then give the password (correctly)it gives me following error: Access Denied for user 'root@localhost' (Using password:YES) Am I following the steps wrongly? Should I uninstall the MySQL and also delete the datadir and then again install mysql package in Slack8?
