I'm not sure why you rebooted - this isn't necessary with Linux in most cases. Instead you could just have run rcmysql start. I don't think you need mysql-bench, which are benchmarks for testing speed etc. But I suspect you should install mysql-client ...
I've tried the process, suggested in a previous email, of rcmysql stop, mv /var/lib/mysql /mysqlold, rcmysql start, but that lists the same error failed: Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
As root, delete /var/lib/mysql entirely. As root, run: rcmysql start Report the results. Best wishes Kevin -- 10:08am up 9 days, 1:54, 1 user, load average: 0.06, 0.02, 0.00
