Hello,

I installed apache2,mysql and phpmyadmin at the same zimbra server, I went to phpmyadmin and I deleted all the records except the root user from the users table.

When I restart the mysql service it gives an error, the error related to the users debian-sys-maint, I'm trying the remove or purge the mysql but it return faild, I went to synaptic for the same reason, I got the following error:

I have another qustion related to zimbra, How do I restart the mysql connection of zimbra? and what is the service name, do you recommend to restart it directly or through zmsomthing?

Please help...

Zimbra runs its own version of MySQL and have nothing to do with a version outside of /opt/zimbra. All ZCS services are controlled with zmcontrol (main servers) apart from /etc/init.d/zimbra which starts them all up at boot. Your question is really not ZCS related IMHO.

You do not restart it on it's own, what are you trying to achieve by doing that?

That's not a Zimbra problem.
