[cobalt-users] mysqladmin not working with PkgMaster RaQ3-RaQ4-MySQL-3.23.54-1.pkg

[David <admin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Greegings All,

On a Raq4i - I've installed the RaQ3-RaQ4-MySQL-3.23.54-1.pkg from
PkgMaster.com and gone through their steps for configuration with
chilisoft.asp at

http://pkgmaster.com/howto/casp_mysql_howto.shtml


including the final step of setting the root password:

mysqladmin -uroot -pcobalt-mysql password mynewpassword

Everything went  as per instructions but now I cannot issue any mysqladmin
commands other than changing the password.. not as root, admin, or mysql.

Example:

----
[root /root]# mysqladmin ping
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'
----

I'm not sure if "(Using password: NO)" is any clue to this or not. I've
searched through the mysql.com docs and can't find any reference to this
error... lots with "(Using password: Yes)", but not the other way.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

David Sutphin
