MySQL: “Table ‘mysql.plugin’ doesn’t exist” after MySQL Upgrade
MySQL is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS). “SQL”, the abbreviation for Structured Query Language. A relational database organizes data into one or more data tables in which data types may be related to each other; these relations help structure the data. SQL is a language programmers use to create, modify and extract data from the relational database, as well as control user access to the database.
After running a MySQL upgrade, you can run into the following problem which prevents you from starting MySQL successfully.
Plugin 'ndbcluster' is disabled. /usr/libexec/mysqld: Table 'mysql.plugin' doesn't exist
To fix the problem, we need to run mysql_upgrade, but in order to run that command, MySQL needs to be functioning. It’s most commonly caused by an old my.cnf config file, which could be solved like this.
# cp /etc/my.cnf /etc/my.cnf_backup # cp /etc/my.cnf.rpmnew /etc/my.cnf # /etc/init.d/mysqld start
