Hello List: I have setup MySQL and it is working fine. I tested connection to MySQL.
Now I have gone one step futher and added a password for mysql, as follows: shell> ./mysqladmin -u root password mysqlpw Now I want to setup myc.cnf. Our SQL server is a standalone server (RH9, Dual CPU, 1.5GB Memory, RAID1, etc.), so I copied the "my-large.cnf" to "/etc/my.cnf". After looking into "my.cnf", I decided to leave it as it is (no change). I do want to add the (1) name of the server and (2) password to the my.cnf. Here I am struck for last couple of days. Finally, here is my question; I want to execute the command: shell> mysql -h data -u mysql password=mysqlpw Where (from above command), mysql server is "data" and password is "mysqlpw". What lines do I need to enter in my.cnf for the above command to work? I have tried everything I know! HELP!!
