Thanks. I was starting to think along those lines myself this morning. It's been a few years since I fiddled with MySQL so I got out my trusty copy of SAMS PHP and MySQL Web Development and turned to the appendix. That reminded me of mysqladmin. It says that after the installation is complete one should run: # mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' replacing new-password with whatever I want for a password. Since this is an Ubuntu machine my prompt is $ instead of # so I ran the command with sudo in front of it. After putting in my sudo password I get the error message: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root@'localhost' (using password: NO)' I know I've never done anything with this installation of mysql before this week. So I know I've never set a password for root or any other user. Any ideas on what the packagers decided was the default password? Or is there some other problem I'm missing? -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
