This has happened to me so many times I am finally going to ask. Why in
the hell when I follow the directions given immediately after installing
do I get an error?
Here is what the thing says after installing (and I quote):
"
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
/usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h blah.domain.ca password
'new-password'
"
Ok, Ok, I'll do it!
# mysqladmin -u root -h blah.domain.ca password 'password'
This worked.
# mysqladmin: connect to server at 'blah.domain.ca' failed
error: 'Host 'localhost.domain.ca' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL
server'
Huh??????
I'm using package 4.0.24 on OpenBSD 3.8. Grrrrrr.
