Re: Unable to access mysql database with root user after upgrade?

After struggling with this for some hours I finally gave in, backed up my databases, removed MySQL 5.0.15, and re-installed it. It seems I now have a normal 'superuser' root account again. I still have no idea what went wrong. But at least it appears I can get in and perform administrative tasks, which is a relief. Thanks to all who gave this some thought.

Much warmth, Murray @ PlanetThoughtful Are you talking about root the OS user or root the MySQL user account? One or more of the following sections may apply to your situation: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/common-errors.html MySQL may have a user called root or not. It all depends on how it has been setup. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/privilege-system.html Shawn Green Database Administrator Unimin Corporation - Spruce Pine Hi Shawn, Sorry, I'm talking about root the MySQL user account.
