CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I'm not quite sure which board this should go in, so sorry if it's in the wrong place!

I'm having a serious problem with the mysql database - unless I force mysql to --skip-grant-tables when it loads the 'root@localhost' user can't see any of the drupal or civicrm tables, and so the system cannot run.  This all happened after a failed upgrade of the opensolaris operating system the server is running.  I'll be a very unpopular person if all the work my team has done on moving our contacts onto CiviCRM is wasted!

So, my questions are:
1) Has anyone ever had this before?
2) What should the permissions be in the mysql users table (and any other relevant tables) for everything to work right?

Thanks in advance!
