This is what I got in the error log: ... heikki@Rescue:~/mysql-4.0/sql> mysqld 020905 20:46:01 Warning: setrlimit couldn't increase number of open files to mo re than 1024 (request: 1510) 020905 20:46:01 Warning: Changed limits: max_connections: 300 table_cache: 357 020905 20:46:02 InnoDB: Started mysqld: ready for connections InnoDB: Error: trying to create a MySQL system table mysql/user of type InnoDB.

It left the MyISAM user and db tables as they were. You have lost the db table? I guess that if you create the same databases in another server and copy the db table from there, it should work again. > -- > Michael Regards, Heikki sql query --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
