Please run mysql_upgrade to create it. 100913 10:21:29 [ERROR] Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.host' doesn't exist 100913 10:21:29 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid ended This is the output from the log-file for mysqld I get when I try to start mysqld with the mysqld_safe command. I tried to run mysql_upgrade to correct the first error, but this command seems to require the server to be started, which is my original problem. Next, it says that the table mysql.host does not exist. I was unable to figure out what this is caused by.
