Hi everyone. After a clean 8.1 install I do: mysql_install_db (no errors) then /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'
mysqladmin -u root -password='new-password'
or
mysqladmin -u root -p'new password'
(NB, no space between p and password)
Hi. Both ideas give a list of commands so I think the syntax must be wrong. Any ideas what it should be? Do I literally type 'new-password' or 'new password'? anything else gives unknown command. Thanks, Steve.
