I managed to mess up my MYSQL4.1 on my 5.1 box and I can't seem to get it straightened out. I think the best way to resolve this would be to do a fresh install of MYSQL server. I did a pkg_delete of MYSQL-server and client and installed again from ports but I'm getting the same error messages. Is there a way to just start out fresh like I never had MYSQL installed in the first place? The error I'm getting is: 030829 2:36:36 Fatal error: Can't open privilege tables: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13) 030829 02:36:36 mysqld ended This started out from something I did while trying to get Plesk6 to work on 5.1 (which I did) but without MYSQL working I uninstalled Plesk6. I think what I did was delete the database mysql and I guess it is essential. Any assistance would be appreciated but I'm leaning toward a fresh install if possible. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8: Get 6 months for $9.95/month. http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/dialup
