Re: MYSQL Fresh Reinstall, How?
Yeah I ran into that yesterday myself. The mysql_install_db doesnt leave you with a working mysql database lately. What did to fix it was mysqld -u mysql --skip-grant (Im assuming you have your mysql firewalled off, if not do that first ;) At that point mysql is up enough to restore the mysql database. I ran msyql mysql mysql.sql where mysql.sql was made from mysqldump of a working mysql. Then mysqladmin shutdown. Then your fine after that for normal operations. I am using innodb as the default table type. I dont know if you are or if that matters.

If you're not too bothered about losing the data in your mysql db then you can just simply move the mysql db files totally: mv /var/db/mysql /var/db/mysql.bak and then reinstall from scratch (deinstall first if you haven't already, it'll complain but should succeed). You could then copy across the dbs from /var/db/mysql.bak back into /var/db/mysql after the reinstall and then recreate the mysql users with appropriate privs on the dbs. I _think_ this could work, but would be a pain. The best thing to do would be to just restore your mysql db from backup - you have those right!?

Re: MYSQL Fresh Reinstall, How?
If you rm -rf /var/db/msyql then reinstall it doesnt work right now is the problem... at least on freebsd. It gives the host.frm error the poster asked about. Ive only been able to get a new system going by restoring the mysql database (/var/db/mysql/mysql) from elsewhere.

If you can use portugrade, it was always a simple one-line command on FBSD-4.x: # portupgrade -m '-DSKIP_INSTALL_DB' mysql-server-3.xx.xx The above preserves the databases just fine.

Re: MYSQL Fresh Reinstall, How?
I just don't understand what your talking about. When I start mysql I get the following below error so I guess its not running enough to do what your talking about? Could you please explain a little more in detail where I would type that command if it is a command.
