Re: MySQL Newbie: Running in UNIX
This did not mean that's how you should work. I had this suggestion to confirm my doubt that something in the user table of mysql is messed up This was to allow you to setup a password for root or maybe another user (who can create) and then switch back to normal mysqld startup, to enable grant privs. Thanks Aman Raheja Hossain, Ashfaq (Ashfaq) wrote: Restart mysqld with the --skip-grant-tables option . Thanks. This suggestion works. Does it also mean I am skipping the grant-tables? -Original Message- From: Aman Raheja [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 12:57 PM To: Hossain, Ashfaq (Ashfaq) Subject: Re: MySQL Newbie: Running in UNIX log in as root > mysql -uroot then you are the boss Aman Raheja Hossain, Ashfaq (Ashfaq) wrote: I would like to try out MySQL on my UNIX account (Solaris).

Re: MySQL Newbie: Running in UNIX
Restart mysqld with the --skip-grant-tables option and then try Aman Raheja Hossain, Ashfaq (Ashfaq) wrote: Thanks. But, it confuses the unix "root" with the mysql root. I don't have the unix root previleges. Am I doing something wrong?
