Thank you!! The data was in /usr/local/mysql/data... and I found out the problem was just that the mysql gui app which automatically starts mysql on login just isn't compatible with Leopard (yet). So starting mysql from the command line made everything work fine.

the data is (are?) probably still there: it depends how you installed typo, and how you installed leopard. 10.5 includes rails and (I think) mysql and it will try and use its own version rather than the version you had installed before. the paths will be different, the data will be in another place and anyway, as the error messages says, mysql is not running.

first thing to do is find your old data and make sure it's safe. it might just be in /usr/local/mysql/data, or in /opt/local if you were using ports, or if you were using locomotive I have no idea. Find them (try locate), make a copy in a safe place, find out how to get mysql going, move the old data files for your typo installation to the place where mysql expects to find them, then try typo again and see what else is missing. you may need to reinstall mysql or some other components, but i would avoid doing that unless you feel comfortable setting up the whole rails environment.

I'm not running leopard on my work machines yet so i can't be any more specific than that. I hope it helps.

best,

will

Oh no. :( But what do you mean when you say "yet"?

Well, if you haven't backed your mysql database up before installing your new OS, it's obvious you've lost it and unfortunately, we can't do anything about it yet.

OK, here's what production.log says. Does this mean I have to reinstall MySQL? Oh crap... does that also mean I've lost everything in my Typo database?
