[cobalt-developers] permission error on installing mysql DBD driver for perl

[Albert Victor <Albert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again,
I am still trying to figure these permissions out.  I reinstalled mysql with no
problems, but when I run a test as root
mysql -t test .... I get access denied as before..
But when I run this as admin, it connects!!!
I installed the 3 mysql rpm's by ftping the files in to a dir above the root. Then I
chown'd them to root and installed them as root via telnet.  Worked great!

When I try to install the dbd drivers as root it can't install them because it can't
connect because mysql is not running as root?
How did I manage to install Mysql as admin and not as root????? And how can I fix
this... ?

I think I'm close!! Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks again for all
your help yesterday!!

Albert
