RE: Upgrading MySQL erased all data
Thanks. I passed this on and he found what was lost. I guess since the data directory was owned by mysql, he could not find the databases when doing a MacOS file search. I impressed upon him to use a separate datadir as we do with our servers, thus bypassing this whole thing.

Re: Upgrading MySQL erased all data
Are you sure? /usr/local/mysql is a symbolic link to another direcory ( /usr/local/mysql(version). I think the installer overwrite the symbolic link so if you open a terminal and type: ls -l /usr/local Santino At 16:20 -0700 28-10-2004, Steven Roussey wrote: Installing MySQL 4.1.7 (upgrading from 4.1.3) on MacOS X erased the contents of /usr/local/mysql/data -- the privs and data of the previous installation.

Upgrading MySQL erased all data
