Hi Thanks for preparing these AMIs. After starting the instance and logging in via SSH, I tried to run the suggested MySQL password update using
# /usr/mysql/5.0/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password '<MySQL password>' (with <...> replaced by my new password) with the result: Enter password: /usr/mysql/5.0/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' top shows mysql is running as expected. Am I missing something or is there a password already set for the root user? I've installed MySQL many times before (mostly locally) and have rechecked the docs - which all state that the initial password is an empty string. Thanks for your help. Alister.
