Hi list,
First question - I have a machine that was being managed by Plesk, and
an update to mod_python left Plesk in a nonrunning state (actually
causes apache to segfault). So I am attempting to manually manage
MySQL (the way it should be done!) - but there is apparently no root

There probably is a root user, but it's not called root. You can name
the root user whatever you want. You probably just don't have a user
named root, which is why you can change the password for user root.
You want to start MySQL with the skip grant tables options, just like
in the

You should take down mysqld, start the one with --skip-grant-tables option
and change password for user 'root'.

Hi everyone,
I have searched the archives and read the manual but am at a loss as to
how to get my root password back (or change it)
The trick appears to be to start mysqld with --skip-grant-tables but I
can't seem to do it. Here is what I've done:
Hi Nick
It'll be something like:
/usr/bin/safe_mysqld --defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf --skip-grant-tables

Are your databases in /var/lib/mysql ?IT is trying to startup with reading
databaseses from that path but i think it can't..
Also check the error log file to see what's going on.
Sounds reasonable, 2

It's OK Nick - it started. It's just writing that to the terminal
window. Hit enter to get the command prompt back (or ctrl-c if that
doesn't work).

Do you have permissions over the mysql directories?
Can you start safe_mysqld as root? (purely for problem solving
purposes ;)
And of course - are your databases in /var/lib/mysql?

Also check the error log file to see what's going
Try
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO root@'%'
IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Or you could always do a straight
INSERT INTO user VALUES('%','root',password('mypassword'),
