Hi all, I am completely new to MySQL. I installed the source version of MySQL on Solaris 2.8. I did "mysql_install_db".
I started the server by saying "bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &". The server started my creating "mysql.sock" file in the /tmp directory. Now i want to stop the server. How should i do it? I did "bin/mysqladmin -u mysql shutdown" The error message that came up was: ************************************************** /home/shravan/extra/mysql/bin/mysqladmin: shutdown failed; error: 'Access denied for user: '@localhost' (Using password: NO)' ************************************************** I also tried "bin/mysqladmin -u root shutdown" and also "bin/mysqladmin -u shravan shutdown". But i could not get the server down. Could anyone please help? Best Regards and thanks in advance, skd __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
