(errno: 142) 060621 16:23:48 Fatal error: Can't open privilege tables: File '/usr/share/mysql/charsets/?.conf' not found (Errcode: 2) 060621 16:23:48 Aborting 060621 16:23:48 InnoDB: Starting shutdown... 060621 16:23:51 InnoDB: Shutdown completed 060621 16:23:51 /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete 060621 16:23:51 mysqld ended So I obviously have problems.
