MySQL setting password
I did exactly as told on http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cob...ry/033275.html to install mysql.
When i do "/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'YOURPASSWORDHERE' " where i changed 'YOURPASSWORDHERE' into my own ofcourse, i get this error:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'
this means that i cant connect because im not using a password, but shouldnt i set the password here? i really cant figure out what im doing wrong, i started all over a thousand of times already, and im 100% sure im doing it exactly as it says. Can anyone help me?
