Michael, group; Thanks much for the directions....I followed them and solved my problem!!!
Now I've got this issue and I'm not sure what syntax to use to get this script to run: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/ZoneMinder-1.22.0/db> vi zm_create.sql.in [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/ZoneMinder-1.22.0/db> mysql mysql < zm_create.sql.in ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'frank'@'localhost' (using password: NO) It wants to default to the OS user who is logged in and that user is NOT in the mysql database and does not need to be. I tried to insert the -u root but got a syntax error . Any ideas?
