mmmm further inspection showed me it was the my.cnf file, containing the lines
# # * Query Cache Configuration # query_cache_limit = 1M query_cache_size = 16M
That caused the problem. Since I wanted a fresh install, I just deleted my.cnf, removed everything and re-installed. All seems ok for now. Question: Where did this my.cnf file come from??? Original mysql installation from LAMP?
