I upgraded as stated in the subject, but my databases don't show up in mysql. The databases are still physically there, but mysql just ignores them. Apparently, it overwrote all my old system db data, because the users and privileges were gone too. I installed the binary version first, hoping that would be fast and painless. It didn't work, so I installed the source version, and it works fine, except that my system information is gone.
I can add my databases back, but I can't re-create all the tables, and I'm not sure what that would do. The only step in the upgrade guide I didn't do was the mysql_convert_ table_format script, because I didn't have DBD set up on my perl installation, and had problems installing it. Also, I wasn't sure if it was strictly necessary. Is there a way to get my databases and tables back? I don't think I backed up my mysql db before upgrading (which I obviously should have done, in retrospect).
