Examine the logs in ./data for more information. You can also try to start the mysqld daemon with: ./bin/mysqld --skip-grant & You can use the command line tool ./bin/mysql to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables: shell> ./bin/mysql -u root mysql mysql> show tables Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log gives you a log in ./data that may be helpful.
