Well, I read, played around and updated it (I guess) Now, when I try to start mysql with this command (same as before), it gives me that: # /usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql & [1] 71491 # Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/var 030104 23:01:55 mysqld ended
[1] Done /usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql How do I re-point mysql to look for my old database, I guess that's the problem right?

Start the server using the mysql_safe script (more info here: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/safe_mysqld.html). For a test, you can simply start the server like this: # mysqld & AFTER THAT you connect to the SERVER using the CLIENT tool mysql.
