Re: Installation corrupted my ySQL Server

Hi,

backup your database directories and files that are probably located in /var/lib/mysql/ 

Then reinstall mysql cleanly and copy the backed up files at the onw place. Pay attention NOT to copy the /var/lib/mysql/mysql directory since mysql stores the users information inside mysql self and restoring this last directory will regenerate your actual problem.

After this you will be able to set up users and permissions logging in as mysql/root user

cheers
