[cobalt-users] Need help with MySQL

[Todd Cary <todd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have installed the MySQL package onto a RaQ 4 server.  With Telnet I have root
privileges and I executed mysql_install_db and received the response below.  I
have tried the following and in each case I am asked for a password and I am
denigned access using the root password or leaving the password blank.

/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password "new_password"  [where new_password is new
password]

/usr/bin/mysql -u root mysql

/usr/bin/mysql -u root -p mysql  [when asked I put in the root password or leave
blank]

What have I missed?  Help!!

Installing all prepared tables

To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server to the
right place for your system

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! This is done with:

/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password'

/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h www.mysite.org -p password 'new-password'

See the manual for more instructions.

NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run the
/usr/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be able to use the
new GRANT command!

You can start the MySQL daemon with: cd / ; /usr/bin/safe_mysqld &

You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench' directory:
cd sql-bench ; run-all-tests

Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!
