Howdy folks, I have installed mysql a few times (from debian packages) and never had any trouble, but this one just stumpes me. I installed debian woody and mysql on a server. I screwed up /var/lib/mysql trying to copy over some databases so I reinstalled mysql to bring things back to normal. I removed /var/lib/mysql first of course, but once installed, I would get this error when trying to start mysql:
<snip> Starting MySQL database server: mysqld...failed. <snip> cat /var/log/mysql/mysql.err gives: <snip> 030630 16:59:46 mysqld started /usr/sbin/mysqld: ready for connections <snip> but, cat /var/log/mysql.log gives: <snip> /usr/sbin/mysqld, Version: 3.23.49-log, started with: Tcp port: 0 Unix socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock Time Id Command Argument 030630 16:59:47 1 Connect Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) 030630 16:59:48 2 Connect Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) 030630 16:59:49 3 Connect Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) 030630 16:59:50 4 Connect Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) 030630 16:59:51 5 Connect Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) 030630 16:59:52 6 Connect Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) <snip> The process list shows 4 mysql processes running (when none were running before). '/etc/init.d/mysql stop' does nothing. I have removed mysql-server, and mysql-client and then removed /etc/mysql and /var/lib/mysql before reinstalling both mysql-server and mysql-client. yet, still I get these errors. if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them! thanks, Dave -- ******************************* David Wilk System Administrator Community Internet Access, Inc.
