Pardon my posting as soon as I subscribed to this list, but I have a problem that's really annoying me. I just installed MySQL on a virtual server account that I have, and for some reason, mysql refuses to list my databases or tables, although they seem to be there. I've included a log below, which may be somewhat lengthy, but hopefully should explain what I'm seeing.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be happening here? $ mysql -u root '-pMyPassword' Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
