Hi

Just installed my first LAMP (Linux Apache Mysql Php) server and Joomla!
site.

However, I changed the password from the default [blank] in mysqladmin:

mysqladmin password newpassword

but now I cannot set up a new database or anything using the command:

mysqladmin create joomla-test
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'

Now, I also recently installed a WAMP server (you guessed it - Windows
Apache Mysql Php), and I found the config file for phpmyadmin and managed to
edit the config file to stop getting a similar error to the above when I
went to the phpmyadmin website - I changed the default password: YES, which
forced a logon box each time the page was displayed. Problem solved.

I now need to do a similar thing in Ubuntu to fix the "mysqladmin" error, I
know it must be a setting somewhere in a config file SOMEWHERE, but I don't
know where all the config files are found. I pretty much used "sudo apt-get
install" for everything LAMP related so the system took care of everything.

Anyone got any ideas where i need to look?

Cheers
