I have just installed latest version of MySQL on RedHat 8 and am trying to get mysqladmin to run. I have run the mysql_install_db and set the root and host passwords. I am able to log in to regular mysql ok and issue commands. But whenever I try to use mysqladmin to check version status etc. I get this error: mysqladmin version mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: NO)'
I have tried everything I can think of including 'mysqladmin -u root', 'mysqladmin -u root -p' and various other flavors and still the same error. I have tried setting the password from within mysql and checked the mysql database for users and everything is there. I have checked documentation and can't find anything that addresses this. What am I missing? ===== Carol Andrejak Webmaster Delaware State University Grossley Hall Rm. 1 302-857-7045 -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
