But if you run this as root, you should change ownership of everything in /var/db/mysql to allow the mysql server access to the files. mysql_install_db is documented in the mysql manual. After re-reading the section about using mysql_install_db many times I finally saw my problem. mysql_install_db has to be run direct from the root command line. I was doing "script capture.console.msg.rpt and them running another script which had the mysql_install_db command buried in it. The mysql manual says mysql_install_db will hose up the user account table locking out all access. I rm -rf /var/db/mysql to delete the hosed up mysql user db and then ran mysql_install_db from the root command line and the default root/nopassword worked again. Thanks for your pointer as to where to look. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

8.0 & MYSQL50 denying access to user root no password
For many releases of Freebsd going back to 4.3 I have all ways used the default mysql user root localhost with no password which has been the default. With 8.0/mysql-server-5.0.86 I am denied access now. The mysql manual still says the normal install defaults to allowing access to user root with no password are in effect. After a fresh clean install of mysql Tried mysqladmin -u root drop test to delete the test db. Received this msg connect to srver at localhost failed access denied for user 'r...@localost (using password: no) This in not suppose to happen. Is anyone else having this problem? Has the package for mysql50-server been changed to force securing user root with a password? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
