This is driving me Nutz 8-p Any time I try to restart mysql, I get the error, "Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost'" My understanding is that the password for the debian-sys-maint user is found in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf So, I edit that, and note the password. I then execute the following in MySQL (with the correct password, of course): GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD 'LongPasswordHere' WITH GRANT OPTION To test it out, I try a mysql -u debian-sys-maint -p, type in the password and get the "Access denied" error again. What's going on? Why can't I get this to work?
