> Starting MySQL database server: mysqld . . . . . . . . . . . . . . > failed!
I also had this problem, after upgrading mysql-server to 5.1.36-3. I downgraded back to 5.0.51a-24+lenny1, but the server still wouldn't start. /var/log/daemon.log said: Jul 26 05:19:01 helium mysqld_safe[3640]: 090726 5:19:01 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown option '--skip-federated' Jul 26 05:19:01 helium mysqld_safe[3640]: Installation of system tables failed! So I removed the 'skip-federated' option from /etc/mysql/my.cnf, and now mysqld starts again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
