mysql.user报错_MySQL [ERROR] Table 'mysql.user' doesn't exist

一次源码新装的mysql,由于没有复制my-default.cnf到/etc/my.cnf位置，在启动mysql的时候碰到了无法打开mysql.user表的错误。具体错误为：[ERROR] Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.user' doesn't exist。下面是该错误的描述及其解决办法。

1、现象描述[root@HKBO scripts]# service mysqld start

Starting MySQL..The server quit without updating PID file (/var/lib/mysql/HKBO.pid).[FAILED]

2、解决办法#查看当前的my.cnf配置文件

[root@HKBO scripts]# more /etc/my.cnf |grep -v ^#

[mysqld]

datadir=/var/lib/mysql

socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

user=mysql

old_passwords=1

[mysqld_safe]

log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log

pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

#由于编译安装时指定的路径为/opt/data以及mysql_install_db时指定的datadir也为/opt/data,而my.cnf为缺省的路径

#因此修改datadir至正确路径后，问题解决

[root@HKBO scripts]# vi /etc/my.cnf

[root@HKBO support-files]# more /etc/my.cnf |grep datadir

datadir=/opt/data

[root@HKBO support-files]# service mysqld start

Starting MySQL.[  OK  ]
