I must be mental but.
I compiled without problem mysql on Redhat linux 7.1 I have just started the sever using nohup /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld This started fine without problem. as I am used to using Oracle and new to mysql I decided to do an mysql_install_db which prompted me saying remember to change password using mysqladmin -p password `password` I did this and it asked me for a password ?? what is the password and how do I change it. This command to me suggests that -p password enters the password password and the `password` is the new password ??? can someone explain ??

RE: I must be mental but.
There shouldn't be a space after -p password, also don't forget to put the user in there, unless you are using the default user (usually root, although i've noticed on win32 it seems to be 'ODBC') ex: if your password is test, the command would be mysqladmin -u user -ptest newpassword By all means, correct me if i'm wrong. It's happened before ;) Mike -Original Message- From: Matthew Darcy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 9:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: I must be mental but.
