had the same problem. My sysadmin possibly raised a password during installation. So the database constrained it from root using the password which I didn't know. One possible solution was to reinvoke the whole procedure with: > dpkg-reconfigure -plow mysql-server I have sudo so hopefully you also got it. > > frodo:~# cat /etc/hosts > > 127.0.0.1 localhost > > 216.64.138.18 frodo.nwadv.com frodo > > 192.168.1.1 frodo.nwadv.com frodo no, this just containes the hosts names in conjunction with an ip. You don't really need it as it behaves like a simple DNS while your routing is doing nslookup's. Never mind ! cu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
