well, i've got /var/lib/mysql:

-rw-rw----  1 mysql root      2102 Oct 24 19:54 tomsEmachine.err

and /usr/local/mysql/data/mysql:

-rw-rw----  1 tomw mysql  666 Oct 24 19:54 tomsEmachine.err

note the identical datestamps on the 2 .err files...

anyway, i chown'd mysql:mysql /usr/local/mysql/data/mysql/* & reran scripts/mysql_install_db and got this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql]$ ./scripts/mysql_install_db

so i
chown'd mysql:mysql /usr/local/mysql (for some reason, i had 2 do that as root, even tho i owned the dir tree...wtf?-)
        su mysql
and ./scripts/mysql_install_db ran successfully, creating the /var/lib/mysql datafiles.

and ./bin/mysqld_safe seems 2 have worked...

oh, wait: ./bin/mysqladmin -u root password '<newpassword>' gives me this:

./bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed

fixed that;-)

oh, wait:

bash-3.00$ ./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h tomsEmachine password '<new-passwd>'
./bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'tomsEmachine' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'

thanx 4 all the help...weird how there were 2 sets of db files, the disconnect on the .sock, and then the password fubar...but then that's what makes linux so much not-read4primetime-fun;-}

Hi.

Looks like the 'hosts' grant table is missing,
corrupt, or does not have permissions set correctly.

My examples come from version 4.1  I hope they apply,
or at least point you in the right direction.

My datadir is /var/lib/mysql - your's may be different

within the datadir there is another directory 'mysql'
- (/var/lib/mysql/mysql/) these are where the grant
tables live.

within that directory, you should have these:
-rw-rw----  1 mysql mysql 9064 2005-10-24 15:21
host.frm
-rw-rw----  1 mysql mysql    0 2005-10-24 15:21
host.MYD
-rw-rw----  1 mysql mysql 1024 2005-10-24 15:21
host.MYI

make sure they
1) exsist
2) owned by the mysql user (in my case, 'mysql')
3) readable, writeable by 'mysql' (of course)

You can also attempt to rerun 'mysql_install_db' to
recreate the grant tables.

Please read
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/unix-post-installation.html
for more information on the mysql_install_db script.

Also, if you are upgrading from 4.1 to 5.0, you may
need to run 'mysql_fix_privelage_tables' to add
aditional columns to your existing tables.  This is
probably not the case, tho.

Hope that helps you!

-Mike
