Got it. mysqladmin version showed the 4.0.4 version. The Find is what clued me in. It did indeed find two mysqld executables. One in /usr/local/share/mysql/... and the other in /usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/... I copied the right one over the wrong one and after cleaning up a couple of error messages, it came up fine. I'm wondering about how that happened. Do those two versions default to installing in two different places, or did I somehow do that by mistake? I'm curious now as to what we'll have to watch out for now having two installs in two different places now. Is cleaning it up as easy as putting the databases in the right directory, then rm -rf the bad one? Thanks again! Mark
