I had a similar problem. What does '/etc/init.d/mysql start' say? If it does not start, then open your /etc/mysql/my.cnf and comment out 'old_passwords' (mysql now fails with this option). > I've tried reinstalling mysql-server-4.1, mysql-client-4.1, and > libmysqlclient14, but nothing seems to work.

This normally means, that your mysql-server is not running. > My system is a PB G3 Firewire (Pismo) running Debian/Etch. Any help would be > appreciated. If mysqld does not start, you should have a look at the syslog. Regards, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
