I've reinstalled my system (Mac OS 10.3 Server).
In trying to get MySQL going again. I can run mysql_install_db, but I can't access the mysql db and I can not set a root user password.
If I try to login: mysql -u root
it says access denied to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If I simply type "mysql" (no quotes) I get into MySQL, but cannot affect the MySQL db.
I seem to remember that perhaps the answer is to chown -R on MySQL's data files, but I'm not sure where/which those are!
I have the following:
/var/mysql/ (2 folders are in there 'test' and 'mysql', among a few other files -- that must be the mysql db?); I also have /usr/share/mysql/ (in here are the .cnf files, e.g., my-huge.cnf, et al). I do not see a folder called "data" anywhere, or I haven't found it. :-(
HELP, please?
Ted R.
