Hi, I am trying use MySQL on RedHat 9 Linux box. I installed the following rpms for this. mysql-3.23.54a-11.i386.rpm mysql-server-3.23.54a-11.i386.rpm mysql-devel-3.23.54a-11.i386.rpm
After installing I executed the mysql_install_db script, which executed without giving any error. I restarted MySQL Server(through service mysqld restart command). But when I tried to use mysqladmin command, I am always getting this error. mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: NO)' When I execute 'mysqladmin version' or 'mysqladmin ping', that time also I am getting the same error. My machine have an entry for the localhost in /etc/hosts file ( I can ping to localhost and 127.0.0.1)/At the same time I can telnet to localhost on port 3306 which gives the following output Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. ( 3.23.543V8T~>W{, Connection closed by foreign host I am doing all these things in super user mode. Also I noted that my /var/log/mysqld.log has the following lines. 031203 11:13:26 mysqld started Cannot initialize InnoDB as 'innodb_data_file_path' is not set. If you do not want to use transactional InnoDB tables, add a line skip-innodb to the [mysqld] section of init parameters in your my.cnf or my.ini. If you want to use InnoDB tables, add to the [mysqld] section, for example, innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend But to get good performance you should adjust for your hardware the InnoDB startup options listed in section 2 at http://www.innodb.com/ibman.html /usr/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections I went through MySQL Installation docs, but could not fix this problem. Any body can help me to fix this problem? Thanks in advance Sudheer __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
