HELP Please
I had a similar problem. Maybe see here to find a solution: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ll-privileges/6927879#comment22317679_6927879 Regards, Darin
can not log in as root Sorry none of the suggestions worked. Can not log in as root and can not stop mysql service.
Thanks got it fixed Thanks for all the help. I was able to fix the problem this morning. Using pkill -p mysql I was able to stop mysql. I was afraid to try this before because I did not want to lose any data, but it worked without any loss. So Thanks for answer Darin.
