>Description: I've installed mysql on my trustix system. Trustix 1.5 comes with mysql 3.23.47. I installed it after the system was installed using the rpms.
rpm -hivv mysql-3.23.47-1tr.i586.rpm At the end of the installation I get this: <snip> PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! This is done with: /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password' /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h bulworth.joffer.net -p password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions. Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script! </snip> but the '-p' option should be removed, at least I had to. When I did this: /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' everything went ok, but with the '-p' option, I was asked for a password..??!? >How-To-Repeat: Install mysql from trustix rpm on trustix? Probably is the same on other systems. rpm -hivv mysql-3.23.47-1tr.i586.rpm >Fix: Removing '-p' option from the instruction? >Submitter-Id: <submitter ID> >Originator: Christopher Thorjussen >Organization: >MySQL support: none >Synopsis: trouble setting mysq root passwd >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Category: mysql >Class: doc-bug >Release: mysql-3.23.47 (Trustix MySQL RPM) >Environment: System: Linux bulworth.joffer.net 2.4.17 #5 Mon Feb 18 18:36:59 CET 2002 i586 unknown Architecture: i586 Some paths: /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/gmake /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc GCC: Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-trustix-linux/2.95.3/specs gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) Compilation info: CC='gcc' CFLAGS=' -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -pipe -s -mpentium -mcpu=pentium -march=pentium -ffast-math -fexpensive-optimizations -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2' CXX='gcc' CXXFLAGS=' -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -pipe -s -mpentium -mcpu=pentium -march=pentium -ffast-math -fexpensive-optimizations -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti' LDFLAGS='' LIBC: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Feb 7 19:56 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.1.3.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5239877 Dec 19 10:46 /lib/libc-2.1.3.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20712858 Dec 19 10:46 /usr/lib/libc.a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 178 Dec 19 10:46 /usr/lib/libc.so Configure command: ./configure --disable-shared --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static --with-client-ldflags=-all-static --enable-assembler --with-mysqld-user=mysql --with-unix-socket-path=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock --prefix=/ --with-extra-charsets=complex --exec-prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --localstatedir=/var/lib/mysql --infodir=/usr/share/info --includedir=/usr/include --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-berkeley-db '--with-comment=Trustix MySQL RPM' Perl: This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i586-linux /Christopher Thorjussen [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
