Yeah, right... That's easier said than done!

I'm still chasing my tail from using the erroneous commands the install said
to use.

Speaking of which, someone thankfully told me to do a USE mysql before using
the UPDATE command, which then returned yet another error:

mysql> USE mysql
Database changed
mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD("letmein") WHERE User="root"
ERROR 1175: You are using safe update mode and you tried to update a table
without a WHERE that uses a KEY column

So any ideas that get me fixed up will be rewarded by copius quantities of
liquor and massages! ;)

Using GRANT though, I can get root password set up, but only until
restarting server.

Now for the Snitz Forum 2000 part (that's why I'm using MySQL and
Chili!ASP). Snitz says I need to start an empty database prior to running
setup.asp, yet I believe Snitz looks to this database for the user/password.
When I do a mysqladmin create blahbblah, it just make a directory, is that
an empty database? I would have thought it at least had some files, ie.
tables and such but without any info in them.

If I run setup.asp it says I need to logon first.
This is the Snitz error when running setup.asp?RC=5 after I add root and
root password where indicated:

=================
Please Wait until the installation has been completed !

              Error:
              3704
              strSql:
                    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS FORUM_CATEGORY
              Error:
              3704
              strSql:
                    CREATE TABLE FORUM_CATEGORY ( CAT_ID INT (11) DEFAULT ''
                    NOT NULL auto_increment, CAT_STATUS SMALLINT (6) DEFAULT
'1'
                    NOT NULL , CAT_NAME VARCHAR (100), CAT_MODERATION int
                    (11) DEFAULT '0', CAT_SUBSCRIPTION int (11) DEFAULT '0',
                    CAT_ORDER int (11) DEFAULT '1', PRIMARY KEY (CAT_ID),
KEY
                    FORUM_CATEGORY_CAT_ID(CAT_ID), KEY
                    FORUM_CATEGORY_CAT_STATUS (CAT_STATUS) )
===================

... and many more 3704 errors

Now if I enter root and leave password blank, it says Installation Complete
and has a test database link, I take the link and it's back to the "need to
logon" error page.

I am posting this at the Snitz forum and the mysql list.

Thank you very much,
