Hi All
Can any MySQL gurus out there point me in the direction of enlightenment.
Just installed MySQL for a Wiki DB and get the following when trying to add
the root password as instructed by the installer.
freebsd# /usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe
[1] 684
freebsd# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/db/mysql
freebsd# /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root password mypassword
freebsd# /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h freebsd.mydomain.com password
mypassword
/usr/local/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'freebsd.mydomain.com' failed
error: 'Host 'freebsd.mydomain.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL
server'
freebsd# /usr/local/bin/mysql --password
Enter password: ***

I am wondering if this is anything to do with my network setup as I had
exactly the same thing on a Linux box a few weeks ago and drove myself
mad trying to resolve it. Now its cropped upa gain under 5.2.1 - it cant be a
coincidence . . . can it ?
I have googled about and tried out most of the recommended solutions to no
avail
Started with adding mysqld:127.0.0.1 to hosts which didnt work (I couldnt
tell you
why I should do this being a noob - just following advice to get me up and
running:)
Thanks in advance for any advice !

ps I installed this with pkg_add -r mysql-server which seemed to go to the
'latest' directory on the end of a long FreeBSD ftp server dir structure.
I just know I am going to get flamed for this :)
