It is after I have done mysql_install_db and chown and there is a user "mysql". It doesn't matter how I try to connect, which user, etc., I get the same result. If I try to setup the ROOT password I get the same sort of denial. Perhaps it has something to do with my host name or maybe a conf (cf) file somewhere that I have no idea of that is set wrongly. Please help me if you can.
