(First I've backed of 5.16 since I couldn't even start it from:
/etc/init.d/mysql
Unemerged and reemerged 5.15)
Gack, no, I missed that completely.
So backing up here I ran that and it errors out because apparently a
db was actually built in all my tinkering so rm -rf /var/lib/mysql
(in the current case 5.0.15
And rerun emerge --config =dev-db/mysql-5.0.15
It now works and queries for a password which I gave it. There were a
large pile of warning about being `Unable to load' /usr/share/zoninfo
stuff <Snipped in the output below>
I don't understand the warnings about supplying a password since the
first step is to do that.... trying the suggested commands:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h reader password 'new-password'
Fail like this
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'hpreader'
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
Whats this all about?
OUTPUT of emerge --config =dev-db/mysql-5.0.15
