One lingering mysql command that is printed when the bookmarks page
configuration steps is gone through:
From bookmarks page:
[...]
After completing the configuration, create useraccounts with the
following MySQL command:
(wrapped for mail)
mysql INSERT INTO user (username, password) VALUES
('johndoe', MD5('johndoes_password'));
If I use that command (filling in the johndoe and johndoes_password
part it fails with this error:
ERROR 1046 (3D000): No database selected
Apparently the syntax is not complete?
And trying:
mysql help INSERT INTO
gets me:
Nothing found
Please try to run 'help contents' for a list of all accessible topics
Going on to that help screen doesn't appear to offer anything very helpful.

Yeah - the sub-dirs under /var/lib/mysql are the individual named database schemas, and mysql uses the mysql schema to store the info about users, databases, privileges, etc., which brings us to the next point: Also, what do you get in the MySQL console if you do a: show databases; mysql show databases; ++ | Database | ++ | information_schema | ++ 1 row in set (0.03 sec) This is *very* abnormal. You should have *at least* seen 3 items: information_schema, mysql, and test. The fact that nothing but the meta database shows up (AFAIK, information_schema isn't actually a DB in MySQL, it's just metadata about the server - kind of like the /proc filesystem in *nix). So, this leads me to think that maybe the MySQL service had not been restarted since the last time you emerged mysql? This would explain why cleaning the log dir and then restarting MySQL fixed it... Also, try doing the create database procedure as previously outlined, then do a tail -n100 /var/log/mysql/mysql.err and /var/log/mysql/mysqld.err and /var/log/mysql/mysql.log - anything relative showing up in there?
