Hi Mathan. i am totally confused . Actually same problem occurred when install the mysql 2-3 months back. but then i solved the problem , how , i didnt know . but this time when i again start the mysql and did the installation the same problem is unable to resolve after all tries.
i would like to mention to "Mr. Mathan " that i have not set any password after installation. the message appered after installation that you must set the password using "/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new password' "/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h localhost.localdomain -p password 'new password' but i have not set the password. there should be default password so that i may be adble to login to mysql . i have followed the the procedure that you have given below , still the same problem occures still hanging sanjay ----- Original Message ----- From: "mathan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "sanjay gupta" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:20 PM Subject: Re: Accessing Mysql after fresh installation > > When i type the command > > # mysqladmin -p password '' > > > Enter password: > > > # > > it asks for password.
