Hello all!
I wanted to discuss a problem I am having with setting up MySQL.
I noticed that my root password isn't set. When i try to set it via
phpMyAdmin, MySQL doesn't recognize my databases, and denies all
connections. Now I've tried setting the password via SSH by accessing
the MySQL prompt, and through Webmin and phpMyAdmin, etc.. but to no
avail, it won't work! I have MySQL 4.0.16 and I run on FreeBSD.
I would really appreciate any insight you can give me. Thanks.
Setting the root password should have been the first thing you did after
installing mysql. Did you follow the post-installation instructions
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/post-installation.html>?
If you need help, please tell us precisely what you did (commands entered in the
msql client, procedure followed using phpMyAdmin, etc.) and exactly (copy/paste)
the results you got. The best way to diagnose the cause of a connection failure
is to read the error message from mysql. We need to see that if you want us to
give you meaningful help.
