HI everyone:
I am using a dual 800 MHz power mac G4 in which I have installed MySQL. When ever I try to create a new database in MySQL, I receive the following error
"mysql> create database dogs;
ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user: ''@'localhost' to database 'dogs'"
You are logged in as the anonymous (no username) user ''@'localhost'. The anonymous user doesn't have privilieges to do much (nor should he). In fact, many people delete the anonymous user.
Can anyone assist me in how to fix this error? Thanks.

Once you've followed the directions to set a password for the root user, log in as root to create databases.
mysql -u root -p
