restoring mysql databases from mysqldump was Re: upgrading mysql

[Michelle]

I believe I succesfully restored the databases by running simply mysql 
 > backup-file.sql.  However, I believe the permissions are not working 
properly.  Apache is unable to connect the sql server and I cannot 
shutdown the sql server with the user name and password I normally use.
