Cheers, Ankush -----Original Message----- From: Richard Hayes To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01/08/2002 10:39 Subject: [SLUG] MySQL userid / password problem Dear list, I am trying to install an accounting package that uses a MySQL database. The installation instructions say: "5a Setup MySQL database mysqladmin -u root -p create bw_accounting " So, when I try to do it I get an error eg [root@plaza /root]# mysqladmin -u root -p create bw_accounting Enter password: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)' [root@plaza /root]# I have never created a MySQL admin account therefore it does not have a password. How do I create a admin account? Am I totally off the mark? regard, Richard Hayes -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message may contain privileged and/or confidential information subject to a confidentiality agreement or copyright material of Clarity International Ltd or third parties.
