I got this same error on our NT4 SP6 PC when I rebooted the server.

So ... I dont think that's what this error means ?

Any ideas ?


Did you run the mysql_install_db after doing 'make install'? It looks
like an error message I was getting when I forgot to do so.

You might like to try the MySQL installation instructions at:

I have the same problem. I ran mysql_install_db after I installed the 
mysql version 2.23.32 RPM's. The /etc/my.cnf consists of wrong 
directory paths e.g. datadir variable in my.cnf. Also the directory 
rights are not correct (have to be 755 on the mysql directory 
under /var/lib/. If you correct these problems, they are still not 
over. I've got the error message "mysql.host doesn't exist". I read the 
MySQL documentation and also the documentation on www.devshed.com, but 
I can't find the answer.
