Hi, I am trying to get MsSQL working. I can't get the server to start. I tried typing in mysql_install_db and got the following response: linux:/home/nick # mysql_install_db Installing all prepared tables 040602 5:54:02 /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands: /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h linux password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions. NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run the /usr/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be able to use the new GRANT command! You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench' directory: cd sql-bench ; perl run-all-tests Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script! But this did not start it. I tried typing in rcmysql start but that failed. I can't get the service started in the first place so I can't add any passwards to any accounts. I installed the mysql with the suse 9.1 pro cd. I am thinking that I should reinstall my mysql. But I don't know how to do that. Can someone please tell me how to fix this or how to reinstall it?
