Swedish should not be a problem ... the chief software architect behind MySQL is a Swedish-speaking Finn.
If you want the password to be bubba, then the syntax is: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password bubba If the computer (host) name is snickers, it would be written as: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h snickers password bubba ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lost Idols" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 05, 2003 4:06 PM Subject: What is code and what's not? I found a script on this help page, that should be used when giving the root user a password, but I really don't understand what of this is words and what is just an example. /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password <password> /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h `hostname` password <password> Where in this script am I supposed to write my password and where is the word supposed to acctually be written as the word password? And what about hostname? Is that a command or should I write the host name of my computer? Since I'm a newbie it's hard to understand. Can someone please mark this for me? Is this the right way? /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password <xyxyxyxy> /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h `this_is_me` password <xyxyxyxy> Weird question maybe... but I guess I'm not the only one here. It would've been easier with underscored or different colours here... I guess ;-) _________________________________________________________________ Hitta rätt köpare på MSN Köp & Sälj http://www.msn.se/koposalj -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
