Dear List,
I have installed a binary package mysql-5.0.51a-osx10.5-x86_64.dmg
I can start up/shutdown MySQL and connect to MySQL server, but I cant
change a root password as required.
---begin example---
e7253:~ olichka$ cd /usr/local/mysql
e7253:mysql olichka$ sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe

Try:
$ /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p
It looks like you aren't logging into MySQL as root, so you don't have
permission to set the root password. (If you don't give -u, it uses
your OS X short user name
Dear List,
I have solved my problem I think.
For some reasons 'alias mysql=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql' didnt work for me.
When I type '/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root' I can log in as a root
and change password.
Later I can log in: '/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p'
Thank you,
Olga
