hi, I instaled mysql using yast. then, following a book, initilized tables by # /usr/bin/mysql_install_db Grant tables are installed corretly becaus I got the message on screen I supposed to get. I started mysql # /etc/init.d/mysql start Ok. But, when I tried to verify that the server is running # mysqladmin version I got 'error: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (using Password: NO)' I didn't create password for root and when I tried with #mysqladmin -u root password 'MyPasssword' I got the same error. What I did wrong? If I stop the mysql and "delete" it (by unchecking in Yast) - would I actully uninstall the mysql that I can start from scratch? thanks for any help. -afan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
