PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! This is done with: /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password' /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h potty.coho -p password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions. Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script! The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at http://www.mysql.com Support MySQL by buying support/licenses at https://order.mysql.com Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql Following the instructions given on screen, I immediately did: # /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'mynewpassword' bash: /usr/bin/mysqladmin: No such file or directory So I tried to locate my copy of mysqladmin. I don't have one. I can't find any mention of it on the MySQL site. Where do I get it from? The installation seems otherwise complete, inasmuch as chkconfig now shows mysqld in the right places. Can anyone enlighten me? -- richard --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
