[cobalt-users] phpMyAdmin-2.2.6

["Ray Healy \(Data Net Services\)" <ray@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All

I am trying to install the phpMyAdmin 2.2.6 to run with mySQL 3.23.37-1 and
PHP 4.1.2-3

Have been reading the RAQFAQ pages and it there is an installation guide
from Steve Bassi

In this he says that you have to change the root password to his password
for installation only by using:
su -
{ENTER YOUR ROOT PASSWORD WHEN PROMPTED}
mysqladmin -uroot -pYOURPASSWORDHERE password bassi-mysql

Every time I key this is I get an error of

mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)'

Does this mean I am using the wrong root password that came with the RAQ or
mySQL. Ihave not played with PHOP or mySQL at all so it is still the default
installation. I have emailed the supplier of my RAQ to ask for the passoword
but they will probably take some time to respond. I have also been using the
passowrd of 'cobalt-mysql' which I got from the PKGMaster website.

So could anyone advise what I am doing wrong or is it just a matter of
passwords and if so it there a default one

Thanks for any advice
