James, I try to start it at the command line using - mysql, mysqld, mysqld_safe - I've tried it as root and non-root.
Yes, I get errors - they were listed in my origional post - I don't have then handy now. ----------------- I tired mysqld_safe, as you suggested, it bombed but the good thing is it wrote to the mysqld.log. Here's what it said: 040323 11:14:34 mysqld started 040323 11:14:37 InnoDB: Started 040323 11:14:37 Fatal error: Can't open privilege tables: Table 'mysql.host' doesn't exist 040323 11:14:37 Aborting 040323 11:14:37 InnoDB: Starting shutdown... 040323 11:14:40 InnoDB: Shutdown completed 040323 11:14:40 /usr/sbin/mysqld-max: Shutdown Complete 040323 11:14:40 mysqld ended --------------- What do you think? -:>Kevin -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
