Permissions block database creation

2006-03-14 Thread Doug Pinkerton
I'm a total newbie working through the tutorial in DuBois's _MySQL_.  
I've got MySQL running on my PowerBook. In Terminal, I can use the  
mysql client to get responses to things like SELECT NOW(). But the  
command CREATE DATABASE sampdb; results in the following error.


ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database  
'sampdb'

mysql>

I am unable to determine its location, which causes me to suspect  
that it is in the portion of the system not accessible from the  
Finder. Can anyone offer a suggestion?


Mac OS 10.4.5

Thanks,
dp

Installer problem - Where did it go?

2004-01-22 Thread Doug Pinkerton
I'm a total newbie. I just ran the installer 
(mysql-standard-4.0.17.pkg) on my Mac (10.2.1). The installer ran 
correctly and said that it successfully installed the package. But I 
can't find it. It's not in Applications or Utilities. I actually read 
the Read Me file, which says that it's at /usr/local/msql. I could find 
no such path. I searched my local drive for all occurrences of mysql, 
but it found only those that occur within the Lasso package. Can 
someone help me out?

Thanks,
Doug
