ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table ‘mysql.servers’ doesn’t exist
Earlier today while adding a new site to a server running as a web server with many virtual hosts I ran into an error flushing the privileges after I added a new MySQL database followed by a user with only access to that new MySQL database. After a bit of investigation I realized that when I recently updated the MySQL server on the CentOS Linux server in question it must have had some issues during the upgrade. Below I describe not only the error in more detail but also how to resolve the MySQL error when attempting to flush the privileges.
