Ok the password problem is sorted
just to make sure i am right the command I used was ./mysqladmin -u root password $password I have just ran mysql_install_db which didn't seem to do much except remind me to change me password. I have done a mysqladmin create test1 I then get the error that I do not have permission for localhost. 1.) how do I set up users ? 2.) how can I start creating my database and get on with some work ? thanks, Matt. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
