>Description: I'm installing a new instance of MySQL using 5.0.67 (source) and get the following from mysql_secure_installation:
Set root password? [Y/n] Y New password: Re-enter new password: Password updated successfully! Reloading privilege tables.. ./mysql_secure_installation: !: execute permission denied By default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone to log into MySQL without having to have a user account created for them. This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation go a bit smoother. You should remove them before moving into a production environment. Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) ... Failed! >How-To-Repeat: Just install the server, run mysql_install_db, start the server and run mysql_secure_installation. >Fix: >Submitter-Id: ? >Originator: Steve Holmes >Organization: Purdue University Computing Center >MySQL support: none, at the moment >Synopsis: Problem with mysql_secure_installation script in mysql-5.0.67 >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Category: mysql >Class: sw-bug >Release: mysql-5.0.67 (Source distribution) >Server: ./mysqladmin Ver 8.41 Distrib 5.0.67, for pc-solaris2.10 on i386 Copyright (C) 2000-2006 MySQL AB This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
