Hi, after upgrading to MySQL 4.1.16, it won't start. /var/log/mysql/mysqld.err says: 051219 22:37:09 InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 892434488 051219 22:37:09 [Warning] './mysql/host' had no or invalid character set, and default character set is multi-byte, so charac ter column sizes may have changed 051219 22:37:09 [Warning] './mysql/user' had no or invalid character set, and default character set is multi-byte, so charac ter column sizes may have changed 051219 22:37:09 [Warning] './mysql/db' had no or invalid character set, and default character set is multi-byte, so characte r column sizes may have changed 051219 22:37:09 [ERROR] Fatal error: mysql.user table is damaged or in unsupported 3.20 format. /var/log/messages tells me: Dec 20 08:20:18 aquila rc-scripts: MySQL NOT started (0) Dec 20 08:20:18 aquila rc-scripts: FAILED to start service mysql! After downgrading to MySQL 4.1.15-r2, it worked again. Do I have to convert something in order to use the new MySQL? greetz, freddy
please add info about version used before upgrade
> After downgrading to MySQL 4.1.15-r2, it worked again. Yes, you are right... sry for my bad phrasing :-p Before upgrade, I used MySQL 4.1.15-r2 and now I use it again. freddy
4.1.18 is in the tree, many water has been passed under the bridges, closing. feel free to reopen if needed
