i installed MySQL from the Tenon site into OS X pb with the installer.app.
then i did the following:
[doria:~] root# cd /usr/local/mysql
[doria:/usr/local/mysql] root# scripts/mysql_install_db
To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server
to the right place for your system
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
This is done with:
./bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password'
./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h doria -p password 'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions.
NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run
the ./bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be
able to use the new GRANT command!
Please report any problems with the ./bin/mysqlbug script!

fi
this worked great on another Mac. the next day i upgraded both my
home Mac and the other one with all new files from Tenon's site -the
other machine (iMac at work) kept working just great -i'm already
making databases! while my home has worked at one time now all i get
is the above denial of access.
PLEASE HELP once and for all!
Ted
