/etc/hosts. I have that.
And it also says that I have to create a password for the mysql root
user: 
mysqladmin -p --user=root

It says in my README.Debian to do this:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'enter-your-good-new-password-here'
Did u do that?
Also I find WordPress better: fewer bells and whistles.

but I get:
error: 'Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES)'
Using -v for verbose doesn't help me to learn anything...
I've also tried to create a ~root/.my.cnf just as in described in
/usr/share/doc/mysql-server/README.Debian but that fails with the very
same error message.
Can anyone tell me how to proceed?? 

Peace,

... in initial setup the mysql-root-account has no pw ... (empty)
So just leave the (-p) away ...
maybe thats your problem. I once struggled with that also ...

you can use phpmyadmin to configure your db (and accounts) very easily
