warning: complete db server newbie! (I've done plenty of SQL & JDBC coding, but never had to care about the server side until now ;-)
Installed the binary distribution packages for Mac OS X: mysql-max-4.0.l8.pkg MySQLStartupItem.pkg no problem.
But then when trying to configure the root user for the db, cut and paste straight from Chapter 2 of the manual fails:
$ mysqladmin -u root password "asdf" $ mysqladmin -u root -h `hostname` password "asdf" mysqladmin: connect to server at 'quickbeam.local' failed error: 'Host '192.168.1.100' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server'
Please help point me in the right direction, DouglasDD
PS - I'm sure that this has come up before, but searching on list.mysql.com
is currently broken ("DP failed" for all queries).TONS OF DETAILS:
