I'm trying to install MySQL under RedHat 8. I installed the MySQL 3.23.53a-1 and MySQL-client 3.23.53a-1 RPMs.
Per the instructions at http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Installing.htm l#Post-installation, I started the server with "/usr/bin/safe_mysqld &" and it appears to have started. When I try to test it, I get this: [root@web01 bin]# mysqladmin version mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)' I'm kinda stuck. Any ideas? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
