Hi

I deleted everything that had to with mysql, including the init script for MySQL, because i was having problems with the databases not being deleted after uninstallation of MySQL. After i found out that the databases were in the /var directory i realized that it never was necessary to remove anything else but the databases, but i didnt know that at the time i deleted every file that had anything to do with MySQL.

I have searched the forums here and looked on the net for a copy of the mysql init script, but simply cant find it. I have tried to use "mysqld", but it just doesnt work and yes i have had a look at the documentation.

What im interested in is, how do i get the mysql init script back when i dont get it back when i reinstall the mysql database server?

The init script is probably tied to your distro. It might be nice if you could tell us what that is.

Ok, im using debian sarge. (3.1 stable).
