Have a nice day,

E-mail: N7zib@northlc.com

I had a problem with my password for mysql and then I deleted all files
in /etc/mysql and now I am trying to get mysql to regenerate the files
in /etc/mysql. How does one go about doing that? A reinstall of
mysql-client5 and mysql-server-5 and mysql-commo9n-5 did not doit. That
is version 5.0rather. Thanks for the help.

hello there,

This did not do the trick. It looks like the command may be wrong could
you please double check it?

I did finally get the command to work but it did not resolve any of the
problems. It's still saying it's missing the debian-sys-maint user and
probably does not see anything in /etc/mysql.

Try 'apt-get purge mysql-server', then reinstall.

You could also google the sys-maint user. The password is stored
somewhere in the filesytem (I think), and you could recreate the user
that way.

hey Hal,

Thanks for your help you almost got me going here. Just one more
question for any one what are the permissions supposed to be on
debian-start it says it can't read it so I am wondering if that file has
certainpermissions maybe. Thanks guys.

Mine are like this:

$ ll /etc/mysql/debian-start
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1198 2007-10-12 10:52 /etc/mysql/debian-start*

That's on 8.04. Is it even there?

Hal,

I tried your permissions as "chmod /wrxr-xr-x" and that didn't seem to
work either.
