I just installed onto a solaris 8 machine. I've run mysql_install_db
The script says to change the root password by doing this: ./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' ./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h myhost password 'new-password' When I do that I get ./bin/mysqladmin: No match. Is password the already established password? I'm totally new to mysql. I'm just trying to run the tutorial but I can't seem to do anything until I have established a root password. BTW - I can run safe_mysqld when I'm logged in as root but not as a user. I can't run ./bin/mysqld at all. If I try when logged in as root I get a message that I should read the security section of the manual about how to log in as root. If I run it as a user I get: 021107 13:39:19 ./bin/mysqld: Can't create/write to file '/usr/local/mysql-3.23.52-sun-solaris2.8-sparc/var/newpop.pid' (Errcode: 13) 021107 13:39:19 ./bin/mysqld: Table 'mysql.host' doesn't exist 021107 13:39:19 ./bin/mysqld: Error on delete of '/usr/local/mysql-3.23.52-sun-solaris2.8-sparc/var/newpop.pid' (Errcode: 2) I'm totally lost and I can't afford to sign up for the 30 day install support. Is there anyone willing to help me get this going?
