Public Thank-You

[Seth Dimbert]

Jared's last e-mail on the matter said:

"In the end, I deleted the entire mysql data directory and ran
mysql_install_db which repopulates the directory. Then I was finally able to
login to mysql as root and begin working. For some reason, reinstalling
MySQL was -not- reinstalling the default databases."

I am not sure why MySQL was behaving as it was, but it's hunky-dory now!

Hi Seth, everyone,

Glad I was able to help, and once again, it was my pleasure.  Would you
mind telling us what the fix was?  Was Jared able to fix the problem
without you guys installing from source?  Were you able to get this
running using the rpm's we were using?

Thanks Seth, glad I was able to help, and I look forward to meeting you
in the near future.

Have a quality day everyone,

Eric
