Hello:
OS: Linux Slackware 10.0
Ver: 4.0.20
Network Status: Closed to "outside world"
After installation:
I'm getting the following problems:
Login Problem:
mysql --host=localhost --user=root --password=******
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)
What works:
mysql -u tim -p
Enter password: ***** # works
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problems unencrypting password:
SET PASSWORD FOR 'tim'@'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('******')
ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
near
'OLD_PASSWORD('marion')' at line 1
## Note: am unclear what is wrong with syntax
## Host table dump below:
SELECT Host, User FROM mysql.user;
+-------------------+------+
| Host | User |
+-------------------+------+
| linus | |
| linus | root |
| linus | tim |
| linus.johnson.com | tim |
| localhost | |
| localhost | root |
| localhost | tim |
+-------------------+------+
Any advice is appreciated:
Am working from the installed docs.
Thanks
tj
