Did you run the mysql_install_db program to create the inital accounts on the database? If you did that, did you give the root account a password? If you did, the current install-db.pl program does not have the capability to provide a password for the install. (The next release will!) In that case, unset the password for root, run install-db.pl and then re-set the password for root. It appears that MySql is running fine -- if it says access denied its communicating with the server. Your problem is somehow user access/permission related. --ruaok Hindsight is always 50/50.
