[GLLUG] Mysql Database Server Problems

[Ex Fed]

I had a MYSQL server up and functional.  I must've messed with the host or 
user authorizations, now I can't do anything from root at localhost  I get 
access denied, even when I started with --skip-grant-tables.

I have removed mysql and reinstalled, but I still end up with these same 
problems.  I removed the /var/lib/mysql directory beforehand, and it still 
does not work after reinstall.    I just want a fresh install of the server, 
where the permissions/authorizations are set to defaults.


Has anybody ever seen this problem and knows how to fix it?  I would just 
like to reinstall, but I must have to delete something else before I 
reinstall.
