Hi. I have upgraded my system from Fedora 3 to 5 and this seems to have triggered an automatic upgrade from MySQL 4 to 5. The MySQL server does not start anymore. I saw that I had RPMs for both MySQL 4 and 5, so I uninstalled them all and reinstalled only those for version 5 (from the Fedora 5 RPMs). I also gave the command "mysql_install_db", following a tip I found on some site. That may have been a mistake... The command "service mysqld start" now says this: Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon. Starting MySQL: [FAILED] Then the file /var/log/mysqld.log says this: 060416 11:40:40 mysqld started 060416 11:40:40 InnoDB: Database was not shut down normally! InnoDB: Starting crash recovery. InnoDB: Reading tablespace information from the .ibd files...

InnoDB: Doing recovery: scanned up to log sequence number 0 1302290 InnoDB: Last MySQL binlog file position 0 27860, file name ./elise-bin.249 060416 11:40:40 InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 1302290 060416 11:40:40 [ERROR] Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Can't find file: 'host' (errno: 2) 060416 11:40:40 mysqld ended Where do I go from here? Is there a more appropriate mailing list for this? I currently have these RPMs: mysql-5.0.18-2.1 mysql-devel-5.0.18-2.1 mysql-server-5.0.18-2.1 Thanks. -- Pierre Sarrazin <sarrazip at sarrazip dot com>
