Err "Incorrect key file for table 'user'" after 1.6.x upg

Postby mnemotronic » 08. April 2009 03:22

I've done the 1.6.x to 1.7.0 upgrade (yes, followed the upgrade instructions up to where they failed.). I've had a working xampp install for over a year, and this killed the MySqlD server. I have applied the patch...

Here is output of "mysql_upgrade.exe" from the upgrade instructions:
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files\ApacheFriends.org\xampp\mysql\bin>mysql_upgrade.exe --force -u root -p -t "%TEMP%"
Enter password: ********
Looking for 'mysql.exe' as: C:\Program Files\ApacheFriends.org\xampp\mysql\bin\mysql.exe
Looking for 'mysqlcheck.exe' as: C:\Program Files\ApacheFriends.org\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqlcheck.exe
Running 'mysqlcheck'...
C:\Program Files\ApacheFriends.org\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqlcheck.exe: Got error: 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) when trying to connect
FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed


Obviously the MySql service isn't starting. Here is output of start_mysql.bat (which I've modified to explicitly point to some files)

Code: Select all

Application event log says same thing:

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://www.mysql.com. 


I've removed & reinstalled the MySql service. And the Apache service.
Run "resetroot.bat"
Re-unzipped the 1.6.x to 1.7.0 upgrade.

Run MyIsamChk:

I've run the MyIsamChk several times and I seem to get the same "errors" during the repair phase each time. The service still doesn't start using "mysql_start.bat"

In addition, the apache log shows:
Code: Select all

Is there any hope??

Solution:
[list=]
[*]Save all user-created databases (dirs under mysql\data)
[*]Save all user-created pages under htdocs
[*]Save all modified configuration files (thank god for perforce....)
[*]Uninstall xampp.
[*]Wipe apachefriends/xampp dir.
[*]Install full version of 1.7.
[*]Restore all modified config files.
[*]Copy saved pages back to htdocs
[*]Copy databases back to mysql\data
[*]Wish you hadn't wasted days trying to fix the upgrade.
[/list]
