Thank you. I have set up the grant tables though but it still doesn’t work. I thought it might be because the daemon isn’t been run as mysql user, but when I try and do :
/usr/bin/safe_mysqld user=mysql & like it says in the manual, I get an entry in the log file saying that there are too many parameters and the daemon is stopped... The nightmare goes on...

And the manual said: "If you don't set up the grant tables, the following error will appear in the log file when you start the server: mysqld: Can't find file: 'host.frm'". http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Post-installation.html Regards, -- Stefan Hinz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Geschäftsführer / CEO iConnect GmbH <http://iConnect.de> Heesestr. 6, 12169 Berlin (Germany) Tel: +49 30 7970948-0 Fax: +49 30 7970948-3 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Roskilly" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, February 01, 2003 5:47 PM Subject: FW: Re: host.frm > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul Roskilly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 01 February 2003 13:11 > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: Re: host.frm > > I have the same problem, the file does exist and the ownership is the > mysql user, but the entry in the log file still says it cant find this > file when starting mysql daemon. > > Regards, > > Paul > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > 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?
