Totally Uninstall MySQL
I have forgotten my password(s) for MySQL. I have uninstalled MySQL Server 5.0 and removed the directory. Upon reinstall, I gave it a root password. If I try to access via Query Browser or MySQL Admin it still defaults to my old user name. I have tried the command line prompt with the new root password but access is denied. I am just starting and I have no usefull data so I can wipe it clean and reinstall from scratch if anyone can tell me how to eliminate all traces of the prior installation.

Uninstall MySQL 5 On Mac OS X
I have installed mysql 5 on my mac and now I can't uninstall it or at least I don't know how to. The reason for the uninstall is I want to use MySQL 4 (which is already on my Mac...I forgot about it when I installed MySQL 5).
How To Uninstall MySQL 5.0
-- I downloaded MySQL 5.0 thinking it would only make things smoother for me, since updated versions include bug fixes, and smoother operation. I quickly found out that I shot my self in the foot by doing this. The book teaches you as if your only using the previous version, this isn't that big of a deal, but when I'm just starting out, I need to follow the book exactly word for word for *me* to learn it properly. -- So far, I've tried the following to remove MySQL 5.0 so I can go back and install MySQL 4.0.20. 1. I moved my MySQL folder from C:Program filesMysqlMysql 5.0 serverin to C:MySQL (I had some DOS problems and had to move it in order to fix that problem). 2. It was after fixing this DOS problem that I realized I needed to remove 5.0 and get 4.0.20. I tried to do an add/remove programs, and it simply removed MySQL server 5.0 from my "add or remove programs" list, but all my MySQL files were still there (Most likely because I changed directories without knowing it would effect uninstallation). 3. Next, as more or less an experiment, I installed MySQL 5.0 again in the original directory (C:Program filesMysqlMysql 5.0 serverin). Then I went back to add/remove programs and removed it again. After a reboot, it removed all the files except for "data" folder, which leads to a "mysql" folder with a bunch of files, titled host, columns, tables, proc, time zones, e.t.c. 4. I've checked multiple tutorials on MySQL, including this site, and all I can get is how to *update* an already existing MySQL to a better version. Or how to remove MySQL as a service. All I want here is to completely remove MySQL 5.0 from my computer, so I can start fresh with MySQL 4.0.20. -- So now for my question =P. I simply need to know how to completely remove MySQL 5.0 from my computer, thats it. The catch is, I kinda have two installed now. One with all the files, and one with only the "MySQL --> data folder --> MySQL folder" (Which I described earlier). If anyone can add some insight on this I would greatly appreciate it, I should have just installed the previous version from the start.

Uninstall Old Mysql Completely Red Hat 9
I have been running phpbb for a couple years on this machine I have. It has run flawlessly until just recently. We were unablbe to access the webpage and all, though other services were still being hosted fine. It seemed like a good time to upgrade apache/mysql/php. I am running red hat 9 on the box and I just downloaded the source files for each and compiled and installed. For whatever reason we can't seem to get the mysql to integrate back in correctly. What I would like to do is COMPLETELY remove every trace of the older mysql install and then reinstall.
Can't Install / Uninstall MySQL
we have a server on which someone blew away the MySQL 4 progs directory before installing MySQL 5. When installing MySQL 5 the installation failed with an error stating that it was unable to create system tables as the MySQL 4 directory did not exist.

How To Uninstall The Mysql Sevice?
First I installed mysql 4.0.20d on my winXP SP1 laptop. And then I wanted to install a new version and forgot to uninstall it in normal way. While the binaries of mysql was deleted, the mysql service still stayed there. I installed the mysql 4.1.12a, but its sevice couldn't be launched by the Config Wizard. I supposed that the old version service caused it, but I don't know how to delete it.

Uninstall In Order To Restart
I installed mySQL on my Mac and it worked fine. But when I went to start up the mySQL monitor through the mySQL preferences pane it did not work. Then I installed it again which completely messed it up. I then proceeded to delete all of the files located at /usr/local/ and tried to reinstall it. This did not help because when I tried to start up mySQL in system preferences I still got a message saying "You cannot open mySQL preferences pane on this computer. Contact the developer of this software for a newer version." I was hoping to simply completely uninstall mySQL and start from scratch or if anyone has another idea I am open to suggestions.

Can't Connect To Local MySQL Server Through Socket '/home/data/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)
I just installed mysql on linux. If I open a terminal, su to root, then type "mysql", I am able to connect to the server and run my queries. If I exit out of su so that I am my own id (baisley) and type "mysql", I get this error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/home/data/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) Any idea why? mysql.sock has full permissions (read/write/execute), so it should be accessable by user baisley. If I am baisley and I run "mysql -u mysql" (as mysql is the user that the RPM set up), it will connect. What I would like to be able to do is run this without having to be user mysql all the time. How do I go about setting that up, or is it better to run all my queries/make tables as 1 user?

Warning: Mysql_query(): Can't Connect To Local MySQL Server Through Socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

But I also have a function definition in c_register.php that uses require_once('../mysql_connect.php') when called because it needs a connection to the DB. Here's a visual that might help:

How To Configure MySQL ODBC Driver To Connect To A Mysql Server On My Own Side Of The Router?
Using MS Access, I have attached to MySQL servers in other states and other countries on the other side of my router. But when I use the MySQL ODBC driver 3.51 to connect to a MySQL server on my own LAN, the driver tells me it cannot make the connection. Here are the ODBC driver connection parms: Data Source Name: (free field - name my "my linux box" will do nicely) Host/Server Name (or IP) - something like MSQLUserName@ServerName.net has worked fine for me in the past. Now I'm trying 192.168.1.106 Database Name - whatever, mysqldb works fine, any valid db User - root Password - myrootpass Port - 3306 has worked fine 4 me N the past. Dunno whether 2 use now SQL Command On Connect - haven't ever put anything here Perhaps there is some configuration in mysql user privilege for the mysqluser "root" that would prevent him from logging from a remote PC to the mysql server?
Table Rows Inserted By Embeddded MySQL Cannot Be Retrieved By MySQL Tcp Client
I have encountered a weird behavoir of embedded MySQL. Through a simple program I made (in Delphi 6), I can insert rows to a table through embedded MySQL and I can retrieve the rows from my program. But using mysql.exe which points to the same table (through 127.0.0.1, with the same basedir and datadir), I cannot see the rows I inserted using my embedded program. Another way around, the rows inserted by mysql.exe can be seen in my embedded program. But after a row is inserted by mysql.exe, the rows inserted by the embedde program are deleted (or cannot be queried). Can anybody explain why is this? Is there a way to fix it?

Can't Connect To Local MySQL Server Through Socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'
I've installed MySQL-4.0.14 under RedHat 8, using both rpm's and compiling from source. When I try to run MySQL, I get the following error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' After much searching on Google, and reading many newsgroup threads on this error, as well as reading the manual, I'm still stumped. Most of the advice I've found suggests that the path to mysql.sock is wrong, which makes sense, but I don't have the file mysql.sock anywhere on my machine, so obviously I can't correct the path.
Can't Connect To Local MySQL Server Through Socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
I just got mysql 5, from mysql 3 or 4 (can't remember it's been so long). I can't seem to get a connection. I searched and found http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/unix-post-installation.html#starting-server Here is what it says to do, I don't know enough to be able to follow. Please advise: If you have problems starting the server, here are some things to try: * Check the error log to see why the server does not start. ME: How? Where? * Specify any special options needed by the storage engines you are using. * Make sure that the server knows where to find the data directory. ME: How? * Make sure that the server can access the data directory. The ownership and permissions of the data directory and its contents must be set such that the server can read and modify them.
MySQL-error : Can't Connect To Local Mysql Server Through Socket
On a freshly installed Fedora C3 (incl. webserver apache php mysql) i get the following problem when connecting to mysql through a browser (phpMyAdmin):: #2002 Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock On the website of MySQL this error is mentioned but I found no solution. In /var/log/messages the following log occurs : localhost kernel: audit(....): avc: denied {write}for pid=2458 exe=/usr/sbin/httpd name=mysql.sock dev=hda13 ... What I have tried : - mysql.sock is srwxrwxrwx, seems ok, but dont know what the s stands for - the dir /var/lib/mysql was drwxr-xr-x and I changed it to drwxrwxrwx : no effect - tried different version of phpMyAdmin : same error - installed my website and got the following error : No connection possible with database (in the next version I will improve the error-messages) - through commandline there is no problem in connecting to mysql (log in, create databases, inserts, deletes, uploading dumps, making dumps, ....) What is the solution or what else can I try ?

Remote Connection To MySQL DB Server From Client With No MySQL DB
I have MySQL server running on a Solaris machine. I have a Perl tool that is run on multiple operating systems (Linux, Solaris, MKS on windows, CYGWIN on windows). I would like to post to the MySQL database on the Solaris machine from this script when it is run on the different local clients. All these clients share a single network share (available via Samba on windows). Is there a Perl module that I can install in the network share that I can use to connect remotely to the server DB?
MySql: Select Database And Perform Mysql Dump
I currently have a batch file created using shell which runs mysqldump and saves the information to a file.

Question Regarding MySQL Interface Options And MySQL Vs MS Access
First, there are many applications available for interacting with MySQL. One of the things that frustrated me at first was the CLI. I know that it's the foundation and understanding syntax is critical to making it all work in the end, but when dealing with large datasets, I feel that a GUI makes life easier at times. So, I started out with phpMyAdmin, seems to be 'the' geek-preferred application. I also ran into a few shareware ones here and there as well as Navicat, and I recently learned that there are 2 apps from MySQL.com for administrating the DB and creating queries. In your experience, what seems to be the best MySQL interface application? At the moment I couldn't say *exactly* what I'm looking for, but more-or-less something that will ease the headache of creating queries and managing users, tables, etc. Question #2: I have been hired to be a Web Developer, Network Admin, and Database Administrator all-in-one. We have are a retail company selling peuter goods and have a product line-up of about 100 items. The President wants a robust database to deal with everything. Right now we use MS Excel for our needs. He says it's becoming cumbersome and wants to move on. I suggested MS Access because that's exactly what it's built for, companies that have been running in Excel and want more robust control over what they're doing. But the president keeps hearing this 'MySQL' buzzword and wants a MySQL database. Fine with me, I just know Access better, that's all. I've been cramming PHP & MySQL down as fast as I can and am starting to feel more familiar with both technologies. At the moment, I feel MySQL to be more of a headache (my fault I'm sure, I just don't know it yet) But For Example: To properly normalize a DB, I sometimes have to break a table into 3 tables. The first and second are no problem, but the third 'association' table is annoying (at least doing it CLI or phpMyAdmin). See, Access, you just make 2 tables and graphically set associations very easily. So, from what you know of MySQL, do you think it would be still superior to Access seeing as we want to integrate it into osCommerce eventually and possibly some of their user contributions?
Using MySQL 3.23 Driver With MySQL 4 (and Borland DbExpress Drivers)
I've been playing with the Borland dbExpress Drivers, and it would appear that Borland only have beta drivers for MySQL 4.x.x However it would also appear to be possible to access a MySQL v 4.x.x database using the 3.23 client libraries (i.e just get libmysql.dll from 3.23) can here see any problems in doing this? The only ones I can see is we'll loose some features such as the ability to use encrypted SSL connections.
