Re: [cobalt-users] Need help with MySQL

[Todd Cary <todd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

First, I want to say thank you for all of your help *and* patience.  It has been
more difficult than I thought to get MySQL up and running on the Cobalt RaQ 4
server.  This is mainly due to my lack of knowledge and experience in Linux/RaQ
servers/MySQL.

Here was the final answer provided on the MySQL list:

+++
you don't use the root password that's in /etc/passwd, mySQL has a separate
authentication
system. If you haven't set root's password yet, just don't include the password
option (so
remove -p password from the command line).
+++

With "mysql -h www.mysite.org mysql", I was able to get in and set up the User
table.  It is going to take me a little while to grasp all of the intricacies as
to why this works because on my Linux server I had to use the root password.

Again, many thanks........

Todd
