Ok, so I rip it out again, only this time I run a script that searches the
locate database for mysql and deletes all the leftovers before I reinstall.
Would that help? Something is obviously completely fubar.
I don't think you have to resort to that. MySql stores its settings in
one of its own databases, usually /var/lib/mysql/mysql.
If you really just want to start from scratch and you are sure there are
no databases you need inside the directory /var/lib/myslq you could
delete everything in there: "rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/*".
Once that is empty take a look for mysql installers. e.g.
"locate mysql | grep '/bin/' | grep install"
Execute whichever one seems most promising and you should end up with a
brand new out-of-the-box wide open mysql database setup.
Start the mysqld server.
Run mysqladmin and set the root password.
Should be good to go from there.
