If mysqld cannot find host.frm, this means the grant tables aren't set up. The grant tables are in a special database called "mysql", and the purpose of the script is to install them. Check if the database and its tables are there, usually under /var/lib/mysql/. Then check if the file permissions are okay, this should be something like 700 for mysql:daemon for all subdirectories (including the mysql subdir). If you cannot get the server to start at all, try this: 1. CD into /usr/local/mysql/bin/ 2. Start mysqld this way: mysqld --skip-grant-tables If this starts mysqld successfully, you can be sure it's a problem with your grant tables. You should NEVER use mysqld this way in an unsecure environment, this is strictly for test purposes. Everybody will be able to connect to your server and perform everything on it when mysqld has been started with this option.
