Re: [cobalt-users] mysql on raq4



Think I can help as have just been through process myself:

1. Telnet(!) in as admin
2. Type "mysql -u root -p" <ENTER>
3. Type the password (mysql_cobalt??)

You should now been logged in as the MySQL root user (nb this is seperate to
the OS root user). I recommend you then immediately change the password for
root to something else using the command:

SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost=PASSWORD('yournewpassword');

Hope this helps and good luck!! After setting that user up I then downloaded
and installed the free MySQL-Front from www.mysqlfront.de which connects
happily to the Cobalt's MySQL database from my Win2k development machine
(you'll probably need to add another user for this).
