SMW Mac OS X user looking for someone, anyone, to help him uninstall
mySQL-3.23.49 because he has royally screwed up the installation.
Chronology of events:
1) installed from binary, process went smoothly
2) several weeks go by without use, forget password to mysql
3) cannot remember password, at all
4) install mysql over itself, doesn't fix problem
5) Delete mysql directory
6) start over by installing from source thinking thatıs the REAL way to do
it anyway.
7) More problems, use 'locate' to delete all (I thought) mysql files; don't
think I really did delete all of them though.
8) Reinstall from binary, again!
9) now mysql is just broken, ka-putz, destroyed. Server won't start --
nuttin.
I was thinking of updating the 'locate' database, and then searching for all
files that have 'mysql' in them, again. Is this the best way to remove
mysql? Or is there a better way? Also do all of mysql's files have mysql
in their name?
I have just enough CL knowledge to get myself into trouble, but not enough
to pull myself out of it.
Thanks,
Gilbert Wilson
