Greetings, I have what I hope is an easy problem. I have installed mysql 4.0.20 and when I execute mysqladmin to set the root password using the -h flag my hostname is truncated, and I get a connection refused message.
The hostname on this box is a fqdn like blah.1.2.3.net. My command line is "mysqladmin -u root -h blah.1.2.3.net password 'test'" mysqladmin -u root -h blah.1.2.3.net password "test" /path/to/mysql/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'blah.1.2.3.net' failed error: 'Host 'blah' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server' Can anyone shed any light on why the hostname is being truncated? Am I missing something obvious here?
