Amendment to that last post.... I don't think the daemon is starting properly, because I can't run a mysqladmin version - I just get a hung cursor.
Does anyone know if there's something that would be stopping mysqld from loading with the --skip-grant-tables option? When I do a ps I can see that it's definitely been started, but the fact that I can't do anything with mysqladmin makes me think that it hasn't loaded the way it needs to. JP Ye, that did the trick. I was able to get the daemon restarted using the --skip-grant-tables & option, however now I can't connect to the monitor. Typing in /usr/bin/mysql I just get a hung cursor. Same if I try using /usr/bin/mysql -h hostname mysql Anyone know why I can't get the monitor started?
