[snip] How can find the user mysql password? The hosting company which I got the dedicated server package from set that up of course. Should I go to phpAdmin and reset that password so that I know what it is from now on? [/snip]
The mysql linux user should not be able to login interactivly, just as they should not have a shell. To do anything as the mysql user, simply become root, then 'su - mysql'. You will not be asked for a password. example: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tom]$ su - Password: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# su - mysql -bash-2.05b$ id uid=100(mysql) gid=101(mysql) groups=101(mysql) -bash-2.05b$ --- Tom Crimmins Interface Specialist Pottawattamie County, Iowa -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
