Upgrade 7.10 to 8.04 killed MySQL...

[JESii]

Just upgraded to Hardy from Gutsy and now MySQL doesn't work: bad password. I told it to keep my customized settings, but now none of my ids/passwords work and the supposed default of root with no password also fails.

1) How do I fix this issue?
2) What happened on the upgrade... was there something else I was supposed to do besides the instructions on the upgrade pages?

Thanks for any help...jon

Re: Upgrade 7.10 to 8.04 killed MySQL...

Well... MySQL failed to start at boot, even though there are a series of commands to make that happen:

jseidel@EDP15:~$ ls /etc/rc2.d
... S17mysql-ndb-mgm@ S18mysql-ndb@ S19mysql@

and there are the expected scripts in /etc/init.d

Simple /etc/init.d/mysql start fixed the problem.

This non-startup issue has happened to me pre-upgrade and I haven't been able to figure out why sometimes MySQL starts and sometimes it doesn't. And why, on occasion, samba and my mongrel servers also don't start.
