I get the following message: $ mysqladmin -u root password 'newpassword' mysqladmin: unable to change password; error: 'Can't find file: './mysql/user.fr m' (errno: 13)' I think I may have run scripts/mysql_install_db twice! (never work on a computer when you're half asleep!) Could that be the cause of it? thanks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
