MySQL log in issues
Hi everyone, I'm having some problems getting logged in to mysql to create a new database. I have to admit, my overall skill level with mysql is 'Entry level noob'. I just haven't ever had much need to mess with it in general, so if you want to laugh, feel free. I'll understand ;) At any rate, as it has been about a year since the last time I tried to do this, I've forgotten the root password and tried reset it using the following steps: 1. Stopped the mysqld daemon process. 2. Started the mysqld daemon process with the --skip-grant-tables option. 3. Started the mysql client with the -u root option. Once logged in as root, I did: UPDATE mysql.user SET Password='newpass' WHERE User='root'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; exit When I try to log in now: # mysql -u root -p Enter password: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) Can someone give me a nudge/push/drag me kicking and screaming in the right direction? Thanks everyone :) -- Tim DeBoer
MySQL or PHP problem?
Hi everyone, I've recently tried installing webcalander http://www.k5n.us/webcalendar.php on my FBSD box. I'm using version 5.1.1 of PHP, version 5.0.17 of MySQL, and version 1.0.2of Webcalander. I've posted for help on the webcal list and the few respondents seemed to think it might be a mysql issue. The error message certainly makes things appear that way anyhow. *Warning*: mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnecthttp://www.freebsd-geek.com/webcal/function.mysql-pconnect]: Access denied for user 'me'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in * /usr/www/docs/freebsd-geek.com/webcal/includes/php-dbi.php* on line *95* WebCalendar Error Error connecting to database: Access denied for user 'me'@'localhost' (using password: YES) I've checked line 95 in the file the error refers to. It doesn't appear to be an editable variable or anything like that, it's just code. I'm not nearly as familiar with mysql as I would like to be, so I have no idea how to proceed from here. Can some kind soul point/handhold me in the right direction? Thanks. :-) -- Tim DeBoer http://www.freebsd-geek.com Just once, I'd like it if someone called me Sir.

Can't start mysql
Hi everyone, I just installed mysql50-server, -client, and -scripts from Freebsd ports. Everything seemed to go well, no errors that I noticed anyway. So, after installing I tried to start the mysql server. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh start Nothing happens. No error messages, no starting, nothing. If I do a ps ax I see no processes for anything connected to mysql. I see no errors in any of my system logs either. So, I made deinstall on all three, and reinstalled them. Same results. The only thing I can think of is a permissions problem, but I'm not sure where to look. /usr/local/bin/mysql is chowned root:wheel, is that correct? Is there a log my startup errors should be dumping to? Is there somewhere else I should be checking permissions? Is there anything the problem might be, that I can check? Thanks. -- Tim DeBoer http://www.freebsd-geek.com Just once, I'd like it if someone called me Sir. Without adding You're creating a scene.
