Hi,
Did you initialize databases as suggested (mysql_install_db) ?
Yep - gave me this
[root@PB3 paul]# mysql_install_db Installing MySQL system tables... 111211 21:00:37 [ERROR] Incorrect definition of table mysql.proc: expected column 'comment' at position 15 to have type text, found type char(64). ERROR: 1136 Column count doesn't match value count at row 1 111211 21:00:38 [ERROR] Aborting
111211 21:00:38 [Note] /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown complete
Installation of system tables failed! Examine the logs in /var/lib/mysql for more information.
You can try to start the mysqld daemon with:
shell> /usr/libexec/mysqld --skip-grant &
and use the command line tool /usr/bin/mysql to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables:
shell> /usr/bin/mysql -u root mysql mysql> show tables
Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log gives you a log in /var/lib/mysql that may be helpful.
Please consult the MySQL manual section 'Problems running mysql_install_db', and the manual section that describes problems on your OS. Another information source are the MySQL email archives available at http://lists.mysql.com/.
Please check all of the above before mailing us! And remember, if you do mail us, you MUST use the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!
Any advice would be appreciated.
Paul
