Hi there Problem: I've got two debian linux pc's One is my server on which I would like to install te mysql server, one is my workstation.
First trying to install the mysql server on my server I seem to have done something wrong. With installation I had no problems (standard .deb installtion) but somehowe I've managed to change the root password for the server into something I can't remember so now inserting for example marc@angus:~$ mysqladmin -u root create test I get this message mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)' doing this as normal user like this mysqladmin -u marc create test everything works just fine. I've also installed the package on my other pc, my workstation, and managed to update the root password succesfully thus inserting marc@malcolm:~$ mysqladmin -u root -p create test Enter password: works fine So cummulative probably I've changed the root password, (even with the -p option I can't figure it out) Is there an way to get out of my way? Uninstalling mysql-server and installing again didn't do the trick Thanks Marc Dirix --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
