OK, I didn't think to look at this: 020213 14:23:52 mysqld started /usr/local/mysql-3.23.47-sun-solaris2.8-sparc/bin/mysqld: ready for connections 020430 17:09:08 /usr/local/mysql-3.23.47-sun-solaris2.8-sparc/bin/mysqld: Norma l shutdown 020430 17:09:09 /usr/local/mysql-3.23.47-sun-solaris2.8-sparc/bin/mysqld: Shutd own Complete 020430 17:09:09 mysqld ended So it looks like it shut down shortly after my last round with it. I can cope with that. OK, so in theory I should just be able to restart this, right? And when I restart, I have to reset the root password? So given that the mysql user is mysql_st, I'd do the following: cd /usr/local/mysql bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql_st bin/mysqladmin -u root password "kool" and then after that, this bin/mysql -u root -p would work? "kool", being of course just used illustratively :-) I dunno, it seems like I just wind up reinstalling. So if any of you see something I'm missing here, please feel free to pipe up...
