I'm just starting with mysql. I've got it going but am running into difficulties working through 2.9.2 of the user's manual. Specifically I'm having problems with where commands on pp 115ff are run from.
(I'm running Fedora Core 4 and Ver 8.41 Distrib 4.1.11, for redhat-linux-gnu on i386). I figured out that mysqladmin runs from my [EMAIL PROTECTED] prompt, without the bin/. I also got mysql show to run from there. But then I tried 'mysqlshow mysql' and it wouldn't run. Nor would it run when I logged on as (system) root. (It's terribly confusing to know when 'root' refers to MySQL root and when to the system root.) I get this result: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ mysqlshow +-----------+ | Databases | +-----------+ | test | +-----------+ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ mysqlshow mysql mysqlshow: Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'mysql' [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ su - Password: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# mysqlshow mysql mysqlshow: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) What am I doing wrong?
