OK Thanks again, still having problems with setting the root password. There is no my.cnf file Matthew Seaman-2 wrote: jaymax wrote: Post installation SNAFUS [iv] /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root password == ax# /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root password '' /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' ax# /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h ax.lall.com password /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'ax.lall.com' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'ax.lall.com' (using password: NO)' HOW can I setup root password ?

Also, as a general security thing, preferably don't allow root logins to mysql from anywhere other than localhost. There was a v 6.2 install attempt but had to be rolled back. All files were removed 'hopefully'. Version 5.5 was downloaded to a src directory but not installed. A find -f /* -name 'my.cnf' -print search found nothing except copies in the src directory of v 5.5 and those in the ports. When the server is started with /usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe I get the same responses as above re: setting the root password attempt /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h localhost password /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' When I attempt with a /usr/local/bin/mysql_secure_installation start (after killing the mysql safe start) I get the following == In order to log into MySQL to secure it, we'll need the current password for the root user. If you've just installed MySQL, and you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank, so you should just press enter here. Enter current password for root (enter for none): ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) Enter current password for root (enter for none): ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) Enter current password for root (enter for none): So I obviously have the wrong approach, please advise.

To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy
support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system ...?[i]
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
/usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h ax.lall.com password 'new-password'
Alternatively you can run:
/usr/local/bin/mysql_secure_installation...?[ii]
which will also give you the option of removing the test
databases and anonymous user created by default. This is
strongly recommended for production servers.
See the manual for more instructions.
You can start the MySQL daemon with:
cd /usr/local ; /usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe ...?[iii]
You can test the MySQL daemon with mysql-test-run.pl
cd /usr/local/mysql-test ; perl mysql-test-run.pl
Please report any problems with the /usr/local/bin/mysqlbug script!
