Hi Daniel,
Is this actually the instance that you have just installed? I know that
sounds trite but if it is running during the installation maybe it
hasn't been able to start the new server and you are still trying to
connect to the old one.
Kill the server currently running, restart it and try again.
Regards

Yeah when I ran it the first time I get this message:
<snip>
boxster# /usr/local/bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
Installing all prepared tables
Fill help tables
To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server
to the right place for your system
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 boxster.mydomain.com password
'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions.
NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run
the /usr/local/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be
able to use the new GRANT command!
You can start the MySQL daemon with:
cd /usr/local ; /usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe &
You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench'
directory:
cd sql-bench ; perl run-all-tests
Please report any problems with the /usr/local/bin/mysqlbug script!
The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at
http://www.mysql.com

boxster#
</snip>
I then follow the directions on setting a password for root but I get
basically the same error message.
<snip>
boxster# /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root password '********'
/usr/local/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
boxster#
</snip>
Even though I get an error message I tried running cd /usr/local ;
/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe but I then get this error:
<snip>
boxster# cd /usr/local ; /usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe &
[1] 33209
boxster# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/var
STOPPING server from pid file /usr/local/var/boxster.mydomain.com.pid
060529 20:45:47 mysqld ended
[1] Done ( cd /usr/local;
/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe )
boxster#
</snip>
I went to that directory and read the error log and it says I have an
instance of mysqld running, which I do. ps auxw | grep myslqd show it
there
running.
Thanks again!
