At the 'Enter password:' I just reentered it. This is kinda confusing
As I said, the default password is blank so you should just press enter. If you already set a password (i.e. if just pressing enter doesn't work) there's no need to go through this step again.
behavior. Now when I run mysql:
mysql
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)
What does this 'Using password: NO' mean. It used to be set to YES. Thanks.
It's set to YES if you tell it to use a password
mysql -p
Thanks. That did it. One more question. I want to be able to create a database as one of my users, but it is saying I do not have access. mysql> CREATE DATABASE mydb; ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'mydb' Now this is my lazy side coming out. Do you know what to do to alleviate this error message. I am not sure how I want to setup mysql as far as security goes, I just want to create some databases right now. Thanks.
