I know there is probably a better place to post this but I am at my wits end. I am running F7 with a website running Drupal and eGroupware. Both of these rely on MySQL 5.0.45-1.fc7 (obviously). I set up the databases on phpmyadmin. yesterday i was attempting to install a booking software and had to run a Bundle update on CPAN. after I ran that here's what is now happening. *the only way Drupal and eGroupware can connect to the database is if i start the database with the "mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --user=root &" command. *when i log into phpmyadmin as the root user i am getting the "No privileges" error. now i can run everything by starting the mysqld in the way described above but: A) it's not secure and B) i still can't use phpmyadmin to work on or add databases. i have tried the following: shell> mysql -u root mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('newpwd') -> WHERE User='root'; mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; this does not help (like i thought it would). if anyone can offer up any guidance to this issue i would greatly appreciate it. thank you! jack -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
