Thread:Project:Support desk/old mysql database resulting in Cannot contact the database server/reply (4)

For some strange reason I keep getting different error pages, without having touched anything myself overnightː

This page can’t be displayed

•Make sure the web address http://127.0.0.1:1070 is correct.

I looked in my .err file inside mysql/data/ folder and noticed that the last set of error messages are as followsː

150214 9:44:53 [ERROR] Missing system table mysql.proxies_priv; please run mysql_upgrade to create it 150214  9:44:53 [ERROR] Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.servers' doesn't exist 150214 9:44:53 [ERROR] Column count of mysql.db is wrong. Expected 22, found 20. Created with MySQL 50130, now running 50540. Please use mysql_upgrade to fix this error. 150214 9:44:53 [ERROR] mysql.user has no `Event_priv` column at position 29 150214 9:44:53 [ERROR] Cannot open mysql.event 150214 9:44:53 [ERROR] Event Scheduler: An error occurred when initializing system tables. Disabling the Event Scheduler.

So, i figured, let me try to run "mysql_upgrade".

I did and it tried to use mysqlcheck.exe but my bitnami stack doesn't provide this binary, so the upgrade failed.
