mysql connection

Hi there,

I have a problem connecting to the mysql server. I installed a new server with mysql 4.1.9, apache2, php4 on freebsd5.3 and have some websites running on it using the mysql server. Last friday I had a crash of one off my other servers and I copied the websites and db's to this new server. (old server was mysql 3). After that the mysql server didn't startup anymore. I then chown'ed the data dir to mysql:mysql. After that I was able to start the server with "--skip-grant-tables &". But it didn't start with out the --skip-grant-tables option". So I found out to use "mysql_install_db" to create new grant tables. After that the server starts with and without "--skip-grant-tables". But only with the "--skip-grant-tables" option, websites can connect to the databases. I can't find any real errors in the logs and I can't find anything on the web or forum. I run mysql_fix_privilege_tables and installed a root passwd.
Hopefully somebody can help me on this.

Roger
