I would think this would be a relatively simple thing to do. I guess I'm
going to try to build MySQL with the config options instead of invoking at
runtime...both versions seem hopelessly confused.
Well, I rebuilt and installed 5.0 again using custom port and socket
options, in addition to prefix. I was able to connect to the server as
root using mysqladmin and mysql, but not through phpMyAdmin (access denied
for [EMAIL PROTECTED] using password=yes). I then tried to run the
mysql_secure_installation, which also lets you reset the root password,
but I got access denied that way as well.
I then nuked the mysql database and ran:
./mysql_install_db --user=mysql --ldata=/var/db/mysql50
killed and restarted mysql 5.0 and now root no longer works with or
without a password. I was under the impression that nuking the db and
installing it again started you anew as far as root goes (no password, you
set it).
