I just install MySQL on my FreeBSD 4.4 box using pkg_add -r mysql-host. When it finished, it prompted with the info below. It is prompting me to do a new password so I type in: /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'passwordhere' and it prompts me for a password. I repeat the password 'passwordhere' and I get back to the command line.
Now, if I do a: /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h PerlDesk -p password 'new-password' It comes back with the following error: PerlDesk# /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h MySERVER -p password 'passwordhere' Enter password: /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'MySERVER' failed error: 'Host 'MySERVER.DOMAIN.net' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server' Why do I get this error?
