Installation of system tables failed! (7 replies)

Hi,

Looks like while installing mysql from binaries, I run the mysql_install_db with user 'mysql'. But my user is 'xyz'. When I run show databases, I see three databases.
1. information_schema
2. mysql
3. xyz

When I use mysql database and run show tables comamnd, I see some 23 system tables. But when I use xyz database and run show tables, I see nothing. Empty.

I tried to run the mysql_install_db with user 'xyz' but that throws an error

111114 10:43:08 [Warning] Ignoring user change to 'xyz' because the user was set to 'mysql' earlier on the command line

Installation of system tables failed! Examine the logs in
/var/lib/mysql for more information.

what is going wrong? Do i have to run the install_db script for user "xyz" also?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Padma.
