i need to unistall mysql so i can reinstall it

**andutt** · 05-03-2003

Did you install mysql by rpm or by source?? If you you installed it by rpm, you just have to find out what the package were called by:

Code:

rpm -qa | grep mysql

And then remoove the package that come out of the query above.

Code:

rpm -e <packagename>

And then install the package again with

Code:

rpm -ivh <packagename>

You are aware that you don't have to give the entire package name to rpm, right? Just "rpm -e mysql-server" will do it. Only if you have to versions installed at the same time, you will have to specify explicitly which one to remove.

Did you run that command as root? Those kind of errors are due to you not being able to write to what are normally classified as system folders.
