Re: need help to uninstall mysql

2001-09-18 Thread Chris 


I had a similar problem on a win2k system when I started using mySQL. I
changed the user and password in phpmyadmin's config.inc.php. Or you can
change it in the my.ini file.

This might be alot more complicated with a unix system.

Subject: need help to uninstall mysql


 I've changed root's password via netscape with phpmyadmin and then
 reloaded.
 It's not possible to connect anymore. The system asked for a new
 password but didn't accept the new one.

 So, I've tryed to re-install mysql again
 version : MySQL-3.23.38-1.i386.rpm on redhat Linux.
 Now, when I try to connect, I have
 ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
 '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)
 Things are getting worse and worse!
 How can I completely uninstall and get clean all files linked to mysql?

 Need urgent help please !

First, there is no need to reinstall.
For future reference, if you forget your password - check the manual for an
easy way to fix:  http://www.mysql.com/doc/R/e/Resetting_permissions.html

For a mysql that wont start, check the error log and isolate what the
problem is ( it probably isnt that hard to fix ). The log is probably
/var/lib/mysql/hostname.err , but Im not familiar with redhat so that is
just a guess.
