After /etc/init.d/mysql stop the output of "ps cax | grep mysqld" should be empty. b) It tries to connect to lar.mec.ua.pt. It should IMHO rather use "localhost". Do you have "127.0.0.1 localhost" in your /etc/hosts? Or do you use a "[client]" section in /root/.my.cnf, /etc/mysql/debian.cnf or similar places, that could trouble mysqladmin here? c) are there any mysqld lines further up the syslog? bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
