Hello, I have installed mysql source distribution. Now I tried assigning the root password for mysql. I tried with “ mysqladmin –u root password ‘password’ “ and I also tried “ mysql -u root mysql” so that I can insert the password for the root user. Both of these are giving same error.
“cannot connect to root@localhost (Using password ‘yes’) “ Before issuing these commands I had started the mysql server “safemysqld &”. Please let me know the possible solutions to this.
