Howdy all,
I keep getting this error when I try to issue: mysql mysql -u root -p the same thing happens when I substitute any other database name, not just mysql. I have another,nearly identical machine from which I copied the contents of /var/lib/mysql/mysql/ . The permissions all appear to be fine. This is a new problem, it started after I changed the firewall settings to activate port 3306.. don't know if that's what caused this somehow. Oddly enough, I can access the database from a remote machine with no problem. Any help would be much appreciated. sam -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
