Cannot start mysqld (Fatal error: Can’t open and lock privilege tables: Incorrect file format ‘host’ )
Are you seeing – Fatal error: Can’t open and lock privilege tables: Incorrect file format ‘host’ ?
Following is what I did –
- removed mysql-server (#yum remove mysql-*)
- re-installed mysql-server (#yum install mysql-server)
- #cd /var/lib/mysql/mysql
- #rm -rf *
- #mysql_install_db
and then,
#service mysqld start
It worked!
